Just finished Ready Player One. James Send a noteboard - 10/09/2011 12:05:48 AM
I had trouble getting into the book and struggled to remain interested through the short lulls that revolved around the narrator's everyday life, but despite that, the book was pretty damn good and a lot of fun. Found it hard to put down and ended up breezing through it in a couple reading sessions. It is one of the few books that managed to leave me smiling as I turned the last page.

Not sure what I am going to read next...
