I've been reading
Ruddy Gore (Phryne Fisher #7) by Kerry Greenwood and for the first time in that series I found my attention wandering so decided to watch some TV. The movie
V.I. Warshawski was just begining which reminded me that for some time now
Indemnity Only (V.I. Warshawski #1) by Sara Paretsky had been on my TBR list, so I set the cable box to record, turned the TV off, dug out the book and began reading it.
After a lunch break I got on the computer and in the process I stumbled on a discussion about a book I'd downloaded several months ago, a fan-fic freebie called
Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality by Eliezer Yudkowsky! Quite a mouthful isn't ir?
Anyway, back then, when I found that it was an 'IN PROGRESS work' and already was at more than 1300 pages, I decided not to even begin reading it. So I download it again and began reading it on my computer and got so involved in the story that I put it on my Kindle for sake of convenience. Here's what GoodReads says:

One of the first things you read in it is this:
'This fic is widely considered to have really hit its stride starting at around Chapter 5. If you still don't like it after Chapter 10, give up.' Well I found it entertaining and interesting from the very start and I'm about to begin Chapter 11. I'm enjoying it a lot, so no worries about giving up for me. The end of chapter 10, blew me away!
I'm now reading 3 books at once!
