I'm enjoying it so far, even though it's kind of scaring me. Also, the irony of reading a book about killer technology on my ereader is not lost on me.

I agree it lags for a while in the middle, but it picks up again. I also love the freshness that Brandon Sanderson brings to #12, #13 and I will assume also to unreleased and final #14.

I am almost thinking skipping book 10 & 11 and jumping straight to 12. Or I could try the audio books.

I'm also re-(re-re-) reading A Song of Ice and Fire in preparation for A Dance with Dragons (the advantage of being a fast reader with a poor memory is that I get to read my favourite books over and over again). I think the only reason AFFC is considered lame is because it doesn't have everyone's favourite timelines (Jon, Tyrion, Daenarys, etc). It's still definitely worth reading.

I'm actually a ways into the book now and my main problem with it is the ridiculous amount of Cersei chapters. She is such annoying character. Looking at the ToC it shows only 1 Sansa chapter and only 2 Arya chapters while Cersei has like a dozen . Obviously the lack of Jon and Tyrion is a bummer to.

Looking forward to ADWD though. Also doing my best to avoid online spoilers since It leaked earlier this week.

and

Dorothy L Sayers - Whose Body? (first novel in the Peter Whimsy series, also available here at Mobile Read)

and

just finished The First Rumpole Omnibus by John Mortimer (in an appalling, typo-ridden edition by Penguin books ... who ought to be ashamed of themselves for this release) -- a Kobo edition.

Have always loved those books since seeing them on Masterpiece Theater with Ian Carmichael as Whimsey

[SensualPoet]

It's impossible to keep Carmichael out of my mind's eye or ear, alas.

What did you think of it? I've been eyeing it for some time, but my local library has it out with many reserves and the KoboBooks listing is a bit too pricey for instant gratification.

Pretty gruesome story. Even more so when you remember that it's pretty much a true story.

But a good and interesting read nonetheless. I would recommend it. Some interesting insight into the 17th century, especially in relation to life at sea.
Although at times it did drag on a bit, but then again, that's how the events unfolded and I guess the author didn't want cut things out. But there were times when I thought: (minor spoiler)

Spoiler:

alright, another series of murders, great, can we get on with this now ?

I bought it with a coupon (I think the 20% one) so the price was ok.
