I read the first chapter and it didn't grab me, plus I'm just in a mood right now to read Game of Thrones and Sherlock Holmes, so I'm going to stick to those for the time being. I returned
Norwegian Wood to the library.
Just Finished:
-
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald - this book was a
chore to read. It had no characters I was able to relate to, and nothing interesting happened until the end. I mainly read it to get ready for the movie, but now I'm not even sure I want to see the movie when it comes out.
-
UR by Stephen King - I bought and read this today because I realized I downloaded the sample onto my Kindle app, like, a year ago and never read it. It was good, but the product placement for Kindle was a bit blatant and annoying. But what was interesting is that this was released almost three years before
11/22/63, and you can see the kernels of that story in this. It was almost like King wrote
UR, then said "I could stretch this out into a whole novel."
