I've been largely just lurking in this thread, but it's so interesting to see what people are reading!
I finally picked up The Ask and the Answer, second book in the YA dystopian / science fiction Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness, after reading the first book (The Knife of Never Letting Go) last summer - I found it good (I can't say "enjoyed" it, really, as these aren't particularly feel-good books) but it was a bit of a struggle to read at times plus I felt like something lighter afterwards.
The second book seems to be much easier to get into, though - probably because I'm now familiar with the style (a lot of it is first person narrative by an illiterate protagonist, with many words spelled out semi-phonetically), and because I'm familiar with the world.
