A Little William Gibson....

I finished up Firethorn. It was okay but needed to move more quickly and was in many ways a romance novel dressed up as a fantasy novel offering little new to either genre. I doubt I will buy the second book of the trilogy when it comes out.

I started Spook Country by William Gibson. I am starting to get into it. I am a wee bit sick and I had that party thing and auditions so I am having trouble focusing. Gibson was in town a little while ago for a book signing but I had something on that night and couldn't go. What would I have said? "I really like your books." I can say that by buying the books and reading them, so I don't know if actually seeing the author is a big thrill. His performance is on the page, not in person. He probably has a web page I can post to if I really want to give him "props"....

Busy with Life...

I am still reading Firethorn. Life sucks up too much time.

I gave up...

I gave up on The Testament. It was really a poor man's Da Vinci Code and was kind of boring so about 200 pages in I gave up.

I am now reading Firethorn, a fantasy type novel by Sarah Micklem. It's okay, but not earthshakingly new. The writing is okay but I do want the story to move along a little faster. it is supposed to be the first of a trilogy but we will see if I get into it enough to continue.
