Don't start 11/22/63 unless you have a lot of free time to read. It's that sort of book that once you start, you'll need the free time to just sit and read. It's very good.

I'll have to pick up a copy and try it. It will be an interesting comparison. Thanks for the recommendation. Stitchawl |

I've just started reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides tonight while my daughter was roller skating. Her roller skating nights are my reading nights. So far it's very good.

I don't worry too much about having enough free time - the only times I can read are on the train to/from work and sometimes at lunch. I would like to read more, but with 2 little ones around it just doesn't work for me at home. The train is quieter. |

Put about 200 pages into PC Hodgell's The Godslayer Chronicles before I put it down for now. It simply wasn't going anywhere.
Powered through JL Bourne's Day by Day Armageddon:Shattered Hourglass. Meh, one of the most horribly rushed endings to a trilogy I've ever seen. About to start Cordelia's Honor by Bujold. |

I finished the second Poirot novel, The Murder on the Links, last night. I enjoyed it a lot. It feels so effortless.
I'm moving on to Hunting Party by Elizabeth Moon, the first Serrano book, for one of my sub-challenges. One of the few Baen ebooks I've actually paid for, and even then it was a massive $4 for the whole trilogy. I'm not sure how much it costs at post-amazon Baen. |

Finished China Mieville's Kraken, good story spoiled by bad writing. Not a keeper.
Now onto Greg Bear's Forge of God. MUCH better! |
