More about books!
Okay, since I’m keeping track – I guess I’m doing it.

Let’s see, I read:

The House – the less said the better. I was intrigued by the idea of some of the guy’s other books, especially the one about a giant store that takes over a town (a la Wal-Mart). But the House did not really do it for me. I think I’m finally over my – wow, why don’t I ever read horror? phase.

Dr. Haggard’s Disease – I thought this was a little tougher to read than Asylum, by the same author. I think the fact that there’s very little dialogue makes it denser. This book is basically a flashback and inner monologue of the protagonist, Dr. Haggard. Still, it is quite compelling and interesting although I think I preferred Asylum a bit more. I’m enjoying my adventures with deeply damaged individuals.

Bones – I picked this up because of the cover, which was stupid. The book was initially very engaging thriller, but after a few chapters I started to lose interest. By the end, it turned into a meh episode of CSI or something.

Next up:
The Eyre Affair - I’m only a few chapters in and love it. I really enjoy a book that relies on you to know other things – like a bit about history or science. I can tell this one will keep me thinking, I just hope it keeps me engaged.

Okay – I’m 10 books in for January. I expect that pace is going to slow down once the ice age ebbs away . But who knows when that will be.
