I may abandon the read altogether and just read something else. Tom Send a noteboard - 22/06/2010 06:24:36 PM
Candidates that seem to be jumping up and down on the shelves, waiting to be picked, include:

Catch-22
Possession
The Rise and Fall of the British Empire
Volkogonov's biography of Trotsky
The Beautiful and the Damned
anything by Bunin
????????? (The Adolescent)

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Am I missing something about the Dresden Files? Tom - 22/06/2010 04:05:52 PM 601 Views
I haven't read them, but I understand they're not that deep, but fun, and get better as they go on. *NM* Legolas - 22/06/2010 04:23:20 PM 136 Views
I'm not really feeling the "fun" just yet. I'll finish this book, though. *NM* Tom - 22/06/2010 05:19:40 PM 185 Views
To be honest, the first two books are a bit formulaic beetnemesis - 22/06/2010 04:27:01 PM 409 Views
First three, for me Tavi - 22/06/2010 04:59:49 PM 388 Views
My time is valuable. I'm not giving an author three books of my time just to see if I like him. *NM* Tom - 22/06/2010 05:16:34 PM 173 Views
They're short books! *NM* Rebekah - 22/06/2010 05:20:43 PM 142 Views
That's true. I got through the first couple shortly. And, note, they're not BAD, they're just a bit beetnemesis - 23/06/2010 08:40:29 PM 334 Views
I stopped at the end of 3 (or 4), so maybe I'll start again *NM* Deadsy - 25/06/2010 12:00:46 PM 140 Views
The first book really isn't a good example of the series. Jacob - 22/06/2010 04:27:45 PM 386 Views
This is a good reply. *NM* Rebekah - 22/06/2010 05:10:21 PM 139 Views
I think the only way I would continue is if those "hints" are promising enough for me. Tom - 22/06/2010 05:19:06 PM 397 Views
Which is the way that it should be. Jacob - 22/06/2010 07:22:42 PM 339 Views

Do you like Fitzgerald's writing? Larry - 22/06/2010 10:14:25 PM 365 Views
Yes. For reasons I can't even fathom. Tom - 23/06/2010 01:49:33 AM 343 Views

They grow up. nossy - 22/06/2010 10:05:37 PM 366 Views
Yeah...uh...I'm probably going to finish this book. Tom - 23/06/2010 01:50:19 AM 371 Views
Good idea. nossy - 23/06/2010 04:29:23 PM 340 Views
Let me clarify: the book may be finished at some point in some year. Tom - 23/06/2010 09:53:43 PM 346 Views
They are lovely. Rebekah - 23/06/2010 09:57:28 PM 319 Views
