Finished:

I found it mediocre. One problem may have been I was reading the Author's Preferred Edition, since I found the book badly in need of some editing to tighten things up. That aside I still found the work immature both in style and substance.

A little bit into:

So far, so good.

Re: What are you reading? September 2011

I just finished my first audiobook the other day. It kind of feels like cheating, but I listened during work and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I just finished Bossypants - Tina Fey and now I'm listening to Life Itself - Roger Ebert.

And since I'm on a Heinlein kick lately (plus finally picked up a hardcover copy) moved on to:


I first read this in college (long ago) and really liked it. I'm curious to see how well it holds up.
