Attempted to read Accelerando by Charles Stross, while it had some interesting ideas and such, I found it utterly boring, no action/suspense, maybe a little humor. I was just struggling through it to be honest so I ended up tapping about 1/3 or so the way through it. I have a few other Stross books that I thought sounded interesting but I am not sure if I want to attempt another or not. Any thoughts? Should I attempt to finish Accelerando?

Got my "new to me" Nook this week which was the same time I tapped on Accelerando. I purchased Thereby Hangs a Tail which is a Bernie and Chet mystery and the sequel to Dog on It. Loved it. It is written from the dog's perspective(Chet). The author really seems to have nailed down the mind of a dog somehow. Lots of laugh out loud parts and action/suspense. Pretty quick read but thoroughly enjoyable.

Not sure what's next yet, gotta look through my TBR pile and pick something. Have lots of cheapies and freebies I picked up recently so should start plowing through them.
