I am one of those readers that can really sink her teeth into a good book. Not just a good book, but a sweeping epic of sorts and Drood by Dan Simmons is one of those books. It’s hefty and weighs in at 775 pages but I am really enjoying it. I know that many of you are reading it too so when I came across this NPR review I thought I’d share.
Click here for the review. The review also mentions Twilight and I know many of us, with an exception of one or two loved the first book in the series.
Now, off I go to read some more, oh yeah.. and to work a bit.
I don’t know about you but I love a good list. Something about them puts my mind at ease. The organization, the structure, the fact that someone else has done the work for me. I’m not sure but as 2008 closes, the lists are coming out of the woodwork.
NPR has put several book lists all in one spot and if you are like me on a lazy, Friday afternoon, you’ll probably spend the rest of the day taking a look. Click here to join me and then if you feel chatty, let me know which books you loved in 2008.
The book that I enjoyed the most this year was a book that came out in 2007 (go figure). That book being Mister Pip.
Chatting with friends about books and life…
