Thank you, good to be back. Was about time to try this new version of the board.
Doomsday Clock #5. I'm still digging it, the art is top notch, but I don't think Geoff Johns knows where he's going with the story. So far just really cool action figure battles, nothing like Alan Moore.
Still waiting to see Bats throw down with Commedian.

Halfway through Dietland
I watched an episode of Dietland before I started the book - it's a series on TV which I'm recording. It's actually a pretty good book - I have to finish it before Friday though, unless I want to pay an 80 cent fine - someone else has it on order and I cannot renew it.

I'm not reading any book today. Taking a day off where I've been reading enough booms for now.
I read the entire hardcover of Dark Tower 1 all day yesterday.
Later this weekend along with July 4th I might start reading Wheel of Time book 1 or read Dan Brown's long Angels and Demons or something

I'm taking my time with A.S. Byatt's Possession and, after reading reviews of Angels and Insects and The Children's Book, I'm going to read more of her. It's a dense but charming novel and the lead character digs through dusty, labyrinthine libraries and interviews resistant Londoners as he tries to shed light on a Victorian poet and his private life.
Is Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth any good to read fir a historical fiction novel?
It is compulsively readable. It's Knotts Landing in the 12th Century with tons of high stakes drama. Ha. Nah, Follett is fun but his storytelling is lean and mean, even when the book is 900 pages. I was hooked from the first page.
Very good historical novel.
I'm most of the way through "The Outsider". Can't imagine what might happen next, but this SK book isn't like any other stories he has written. Can't wait to find out what happens, but then I'll be sorry the story is over.
I finished reading "The Outsider" and it has the best story since "Under the Dome". Next, re-reading "It", and also Ken Follett's "Pillars of the Earth".
I'm about 138 pages into Pillars of the Earth and it is holding my attention. So far, it's a page turner.
The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
I'm on the bus listening to don't fear the reaper and I'm tempted to read the stand on my new phone, I started it to test my ereader app and forgot how fast paced that prologue is.
During the 4th of July parade yesterday I started reading Stephen King's Outsider.
Beginning is good but not great. The death of you know who in the beginning, eh. Come on now I've read better stuff than that for cripes sake lol

How It Happened - Michael Koryta
I'm about 200 pages in and am having a hard time putting it down.

I just finished The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn yesterday. It was really good. Little bit Rear Window, little bit Girl on the Train (but much better than that one) and little bit Copycat, that movie with Sigourney Weaver. I enjoyed it.
Just started Winner Take Nothing, Hemingway short stories. I only read the first. I like his in your face punchy style. Reminds me of Bukowski!
