    I enjoyed this. There's another one after it I think it's called Seeing. There ought to be a next one after that! Which would have been the most interesting one! But alas there is not. I found his formatting incredibly difficult to follow but the story is very good.

    Any Neil Gaiman fans who do not hate ebooks might want to check this out:
    https://www.humblebundle.com/books

    You can adjust how much of your donation goes to charity, the publishers, and the website. I'll admit when I went into it I was in a halfway panic cuz I thought it was limited time limited quantities thing and I didn't read it very carefully so I assumed I was getting actual books. But since I put nearly my entire $20 donation to charity I'm not complaining.

    Thank you. I just finished reading the first chapter. All those commas instead of full stops making it indeed hard to read. Until, of course, you get used to it. :smile:

    F Me, I am currently reading this one by Jo Walton - the second in what I think will be a trilogy.

    I read Farthing a few years back and liked it, so went on to read the two sequels.

    Often...not sure I will get to the sequels.... I like but not love and pile beckons. If I had it in hand I'm sure I would read
    Is the current series better?

    Really? It's that scary? In the foreword he says it's the scariest book he's ever written. He even had to put it in a drawer for a while thinking he'd gone too far, lol.

    I just started it, so now I'm really curious to read it.

    F Me - I agree with the "like but not love" comment about Farthing/ Ha'Penny/ Half a Crown but they are quick reads so I sped through them. I enjoy the current series but you need to like philosophy. In my opinion Walton's best book by far is Among Others (its a stand alone, not part of a series).

    So far so good. Her prose is pretty flowery, but her cultural observations are quite astute and undiscriminating.

    Do you have children? That's the creepy part. Well, a lot of it is creepy. I did really like it.

    I have not read Pet Semetary in years. Might be time for a re-read.

    Reading a King now though:

    I enjoyed Revival -- ended a bit too promptly for me but I enjoyed what the ending was. Would like to see King wander into the weirdness of that ending and mess around there for a while.

    Almost finished this on the plane Sunday, fascinating shit.

    What's this one about? I enjoy some true crime books when they're well written.
