Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy, so no change there.

It has become quite interesting though (or maybe it’s just the Stockholm syndrome talking), I am in last 1/3 or maybe 1/4th of the book, and things have started to get together, though I still don’t know what’s the goal in this book. From all I have read, this seems to just be a ‘middle’ book whose purpose is to explore the world and take us from book 1 to book 3 where everything will be concluded.

Let’s see how I feel by the time I finish it.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

    I have only read his first Shades of Grey, and loved it, but then he didn’t write the sequel for 15 years.

    I have first book in his Thursday Next series, but haven’t started it yet.

      The sequel was published this year and it was . . . disappointing. You won’t be disappointed with Thursday Next.

        That’s sad to know. Maybe it also explains why it took so long for him to write it.

        I’ll read the first Thursday Next book, and if I like it will get the rest of the series. Thanks for the recommendation!
