Kristin's Book Log


Tuesday, December 06, 2005
Thursday night I stayed up way too late reading. I finished off Stephen King's Dark Tower series by finishing the last (7th?) book in the series. I'm not sure I would have started the series these days, but since I'd started it something like 15 years ago I needed to finish it. At least the gaps between publication of the later books wasn't nearly as long as some that happened earlier. I did enjoy the series overall, but given how long it is, I'm hesitant to recommend it to others. I found it rather amusing that there was one plot device in this last book that requires some knowledge of Harry Potter to understand.

If that was all of the reading I'd done that night, I'd have gotten a fair bit of sleep. Instead I also stayed up and read Lois McMaster Bujold's Brothers in Arms in its entirety. Oops. I seem to keep reading her novels out of order, but fortunately that hasn't been as promblematic as some series would be.

I'm currently working on Shelby Steele's The Content of Our Character and Tim Powers' Forsake the Sky.
