I’ve never read any Stephen King so I thought I’d take the plunge. It’s not my favorite genre, sci-fi, but post apocalyptic stories I do enjoy. So I’ve got a 1200 pages in front of me.

I'm still at it as I've been pretty busy during December. But I see light at the end of the tunnel. I can see why in the first version his publisher had him remove 400 pages. It does go on and on. But I'm too invested with time now to stop. Maybe now with the holidays almost over I can push through quicker.

Which it was. With a veneer of wartime grit.

I followed that with Conrad's Fate by Diana Wynne Jones. The second (by internal chronology) in her Chrestomanci series.

Next was a new purchase: The Vacuum of Space by Juli Huni. Light fun murder mystery/romance in Space, first in her "Space Janitor" series, but self-contained.

Now starting: The Dust of Kaku. The second Space Janitor book.

Which is still free.
