I have read Steig Larsson’s “The Girl Who…” series and I agree that the first one “The Girl Who Played With Fire” was very difficult to get into, but once I managed to get past all the history and hard to keep track of names, it was a pretty fun ride.
Right now I'm reading Terry Pratchett and will continue to do so until I've read everything he's written. In between and during I have read lately:
Bottle Rocket Hearts
by Zoe Whittall
Interesting, pleasant little read.
The Strain
Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan.
It was okay but I kept thinking they wrote this with the movie they planned to make in mind. However I will read the next in the series.
The Passage
Justin Cronin
I’ve read comparisons to “The Stand” made by reviewers of this book. I think it is definitely worth a read, and since it is a trilogy I look forward to the other two books. But it’s not equal to “The Stand” in my opinion.
Robopocalypse – it was okay.
Daniel H. Wilson
I thought I might reread A Confederacy of Dunces next. Just to see what I would think of it today. It cracked me up when I was younger.
I also think I will reread Clive Barker’s stuff like Imajica, The Great and Secret Show and Everville.
