Haven't been reading much...

In the wave of a new school year I have been too tired and too busy to read much lately. I am reading The Testament by Eric Van Lustbader and it is surprisingly slow going. It feels like a poorly constructed Da Vinci Code knock off with a religious secret being guarded and fought over by two opposing factions. The secret is revealed too soon. The action comes at you before you give a crap for any of the characters and the "code deciphering" is clumsy compared to Da Vinci Code. I may give up on it soon as it is really not a great read and I would rather be reading the new William Gibson...

And On to something else...

I finished up Divisadero last night. I love the way Ondaatje writes. I did wish he had gone back to the Claire/Anna/Coop storyline before the end, but the beauty of his words and sentences makes me forgive him for not doing that. Besides, it was his story to tell, who am I to want him to tell it a different way? He is so very gifted at the whole "weaving together" of the story thing. Love my Ondaatje!

I started Interworld (Neil Gaiman & Michael Reaves). Not that far into it yet and it was late when I started so I cannot comment yet. It is a Teen/Young Adult fiction book, which I hadn't realized, but that's okay. It will go by fast.

I can tell I am in between projects...

Because I am reading so much... I finished The Amber Spyglass, read Dead Wrong (by J.A. Jance) and then re-read Stardust (Neil Gaiman). That was this weekend. I am now reading Divisadero by Michael Ondaatje. It is nice to have the time.
