Good Reads
I really enjoyed reading "The Eyre Affair: A Thursday Next Novel" - it's one of the strangest things I've ever read, combining elements of Monty Python and Harry Potter in one place. Characters jump in and out of books; real bookworms power strange machines - and the time jumping father of Thursday adds a really hilarious twist right at the very end of the book. I can barely wait to dive into the next book in the series. | |
Meanwhile, my "exercise book" is "A Feast for Crows" - the 4th in Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series. I'm really hoping that he can finish the story - he's on book five of a planned 7 now, but who knows how much of his time will taken up by the HBO series? It's a really involved story, too - like Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series, if you put it down for a period of time, you'll just be lost when you come back. There are just so many characters, plots, and subplots moving at once. |
The only trouble with all this is that my desire to read all of this stuff is pulling me away from jogging and over to the stationary bike - which cuts into my podcast listening time. Oh well :)
