I had a hard time picking my next read tonight - opened a good half a dozen books, in various genres, and closed them again after reading half a page or so. Nothing, nothing, out of the 1100+ TBR books is currently calling out my name.

Finally settled on Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson, which I got last year and have been meaning to read for ages, but 5% in and I'm dreadfully bored. I don't care for the writing style and neither the characters nor the plot (whatever it is) have reeled me in yet. (Also, could Western authors please stop with the irritating habit of giving contemporary or very-near-future Russians middle names that aren't patronymics? It's really quite jarring to read!)

I do hope it gets more interesting soon, as I'd hate to not finish it. Maybe I'm just not in the mood for reading, in general, today.
