Did you like the book? Seems like people either love it or hate it.

I'm about 75 pages into it. My first book by this author. It took me a little while to get into the Victorian style of writing-it is very Dickens-ish.

I've been reading a ton lately, hadn't had internet or much of anything else to do to kill time, so I read all the books I brought with me to Germany.

Read the first two books of the Mitch Rapp Series by Vince Flynn--really enjoyed them and bought the other seven books to read...

Read Working on the Edge by Spike Walker. It is a very well written account about living as a King Crab Fisherman in the Bering Sea. I liked the show Deadliest Catch, and this is a book about one guys experience in the 70s and 80s before everything became so high tech.

Bought One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest--which I'm reading now, what a fitting place for me to be telling about it-- and Robinson Crusoe, which I'll get to later. Looking forward to both of these books.

Well, after reading about 12 Political books and 5 or 6 history books in a row, I decided to read something that was light hearted/calm my nerves.
I'm reading "Crazy From The Heat" by none other than "Diamond" David Lee Roth.
It's a fun read so far and I have to say, he writes like he talks, if you know what I mean. Needless to say, the palpitations have subsided and my BP is down. Man, I needed a break from politics.

Finished Drood....excellent book. Made me run out and buy two Dickens novels. Right now I am reading the Suspicions of Mr. Whicher, which is a true story of the first Metro police detectives in London and the investigation of a murder of a child. Mr. Whicher is the basis for the character Inspector Cuff in A Woman in White by Wilkie Collins and Inspector Bucket from Dicken's Bleak House.

Oh, I hope you like it. I couldn't put it down. It was such a kick to see Wilkie Collins portrayed as such a...well, a nutjob, to be sure. I bought The Mystery of Edwin Drood just to see what it is like-even though Dickens never finished it it should be fun to read the book Dickens was writing while this novel takes place.

I also picked up Hyperion and Illium by Dan Simmons while I was at it.

Oooh you gotta get the whole Hyperion Cantos to really appreciate it. It is a complete work. Watch out for the Shrike, that is one badass mammajamma.
