It was... OK, I guess. I didn't really feel like it went anywhere, and I must have missed the point, if there was one.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
This was a really fun book but I had very, very high expectations for it and it didn't meet them. I was hoping for a bit more "serious" thriller / social commentary components, but once I took this as an adventure book (not a typical post-apocalyptic novel) then I enjoyed the ride.
<hr>
Also finished Babette's Feast by Karen Blixen. Fantastic short story.

It was kinda short. Mostly pictures. No real payoff. No characters with whom I could identify. I was disappointed.
I guess I shouldn't complain...it was free...but still...

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the dystopian/post-apocalyptic genre and a huge fan of 80's nostalgia. The 80's fan in me was way more satisfied.

Not bad, a little rambling and non-linear. I found the parts about how they actually smuggled the cocaine to be really interesting.

Finished Ammon Shea's The Phone Book, a history of the phone book. Breezy read, a bit too light for my tastes but entertaining.
