I like it. Only 160 pages in though but I like what it's about and how well it's written.
I won't start another Simmons for a couple of months. I am afraid after The Terror anything will be a disappointment. I need the impression to become less vivid.

Reading "Dead Reflections" by Carol Weekes. This is an ARC from LTthing's early reviewer program.
The Greatest Stories Never Told: 100 Tales from history to astonish, bewilder, and stupefy, by Rick Beyer
Needed a little variety from King before I begin Black House
Just finished The Master and Margarita, and am going to pick up the sequel to A Game of Thrones again very soon.
I just started reading Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I'm totally enthralled. Each chapter centers on a different character, and is amazingly different than the last. A definite must read for English language lovers.
I had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.
that would be bears...

Bev, that cover is tantalizing. Let me know how the actual read is.
I enjoyed this one quite a bit. Not what I had expected.

I'm only about 1/3 of the way in and I'm still not sure what to expect from it. The bit with the marbles has me thinking the story might go in an unexpected direction, but I don't know what that is yet. The style is intriguing. Very conversational and disarming. There are a lot of characters to keep straight, but I'm liking it so far.

FWIW, I just completed my reread of The Dark Tower. Still awesome, especially the (final) conclusion.
Schadenfreude.Spoiler:
I had to google that path haha. But true, to some degree. It's more taking pleasure in how it applies to life in general than wanting other people to be in pain.Schadenfreude.Spoiler:
Oh, yeah. Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone.
Going off-topic, though. It's really a great book because people have all different ways of seeing it.
I hope we can pick this up in DT threads.
