Book log again
Jun. 11th, 2006 09:32 pmRead over the past week or two:
The Basic Eight by Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket. Laugh-out-loud funny in a juvenile way.
The Death of Achilles by Boris Akunin (in translation). Awesome subway reading, but I think I may have missed one in the series despite my best efforts to read them in order.
The Devil in Nanking by Mo Hayder. Normally, I love dark, creepy mystery novels set in Japan, but this one tried too hard.
The Rule of Four by Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. Maybe this one is better if you did your undergrad at Princeton (where the story is set), but otherwise it's kind of like a very watered-down The Name of the Rose.
Not sure what to read next, but I have a bunch of ideas. Kelly asked me to make some space on our bookshelves over the weekend. In the process, I found a short stack of books I had never gotten around to reading, so maybe I'll try one of those.
Since I started keeping track about two months ago, I have read 18 books. I just got around to joining the 50bookchallenge community, not so much because I need to keep count as because it seems like a good source for recommendations.
