Librarian Who posted a W3dnesday blog today and it reminded me that I'd not done one in about a month myself. So here goes.
What did I read last? I finished Flood Tide by Clive Cussler, okay story a pretty good beach read and that's where I started reading, even having the tide come in on me and washing the book out of my hands one time. Safe, predictable, you know exactly what's going to happen it's just fun finding out the how. Next I read American Gods by Neil Gaiman, a modern classic. Great read. Then I tried reading Brida by Paulo Coelho, some of Coelho's books I really like (The Alchemist or the Fifth Mountain for instance) and others I really don't like, after about a chapter I was pretty sure this was one I wouldn't like, so I set it aside.
What am I reading now? Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon, so far the story is very intriguing. My only qualm with the book to this point is that while it is set in the late 19th century (I believe) the characters all sound very much 21st century to me.
What will I read next? I'm leaning toward The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas, it's been on my shelf for awhile and I've been contemplating it and then in Angel's Game the author made a reference to it and so it will probably be next.
