Interview With a Vampire. Hopefulyl i'll finish it this time. I've read part before.
I read that (
and did a report on it). It was....odd.
So I finished
Neuromancer finally. Took me a long time because I started to read
On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony when I was about half way through Neuromancer which meant I had to go back and read several chapters to get caught back up.
But On a Pale Horse was a mixed bag. It's about this guy who kills Death and thus assumes his position as Death and goes gallivanting around doing stuff. The character development was meh and the writing was horrible (some parts just didn't make sense, the characters did illogical things, complete 180s in character behavior within a paragraph, and convenient 'outs' that would just pop up for no reason in certain situations) BUT the concept was good and interesting so that made it finishable.
Neuromancer was really good. If you like sci-fi and haven't read it yet, I suggest you do so.
On the way from Amazon for my 'To Read' list is
Dune by Frank Herbert (which will be a re-read so probably will get delegated to the end) and
Victory of Eagles by Naomi Novik.
After that I plan to do
Hyperion (Dan Simmons),
Forever Peace (Don Haldeman),
Shaman's Crossing (Robert Hobb), re-start
Gardens of the Moon (Steven Erikson), and then read
Proficient Motorcycling (David Hough) as my non-fiction book.
But right now I'm at an impasse. I've not read the
Sword of Truth nor
The Wheel of Time series. I hope to read both series in their entirety eventually but they're both very long (I think both have 10 books at the least) and each book is very long as well so I have to 'commit' to one. Any suggestions as to which is 'better'?
I hate that there's so
many books and so very,
very little time.
