I got the second one but instead I decided to read a Western, The Shopkeeper by James D. Best. That was also the first in a series, but it was nothing special so I doubt I’ll track them down. The main character was too much like a superhero—rich, clever, and an amazing shot? Lame. Started The Diary of a Country Priest, by Georges Bernanos. I forgot to update (again). I wasn't clicking with that book, so I dropped it and started The Virginian, by Owen Wister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Finished up The Deadlands: Trapped the second book in the series. It's about a dinosaur series, think more serious/mature Land Before Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 didn't end up starting Holly and instead started The Dead Take the A Train, quite twisted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternallDarkness Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 finished up Jo Nesbo's upcoming The Night House and have to say it's quite trippy. Of course when a book starts with a kid getting eaten by a phone you're pretty much guaranteed it's a crazy story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to the FOOKIN' KIRBY CAFE, BITCH. Oh yeah, his friend also made us reservations for the FF14 cafe. I might be more excited if there's other FF merch there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted Sunday at 06:05 AM Share Posted Sunday at 06:05 AM Started Lone Women by Victor Lavelle. I think I just have 2 more stories to go in Just After Sunset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted Sunday at 07:00 AM Share Posted Sunday at 07:00 AM So, I’ve (finally) finished Wuthering Heights. It’ll go in that list of books where I can’t quite understand why anyone likes any of the characters as my impression of the various Heathcliff’s and Cathy’s was a cycle of emotional/physical abuse. Maybe that was the point but as a book for leisure, I could do without it. I’m now reading the Art and Science of Teaching Primary Reading for work and The World According to Garp for pleasure.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted Wednesday at 07:34 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:34 AM Got my copy of The Armor of Light by Ken Follett today and I started on it at work tonight. Kingsbridge series is probably my favorite of all time and I was really hyped for this. Hoping I can finish it before we fly next Saturday because I really don’t wanna take this data’s book in my carry-on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed both of them, just never caught up with the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite so far has been the first, Pillars of the Earth, but I've loved them all and this one is shaping it to be great. I also discovered an older book called Trinity: A Novel of Ireland by Leon Uris and I look forward to starting it in the near future.
