I love to read but I do so much of it with my job, that by the end of the day, usually the last thing I want to do is read. Not so lately though, as I’ve read two books (diametrically opposed) that I thought I’d share.
The first, Shadow of the Wind, was just an amazing tale of a boy coming of age and the mystery that he unravels surrounding his favorite author. I enjoyed this one so much, I didn’t race through it but doled it out in small doses because I didn’t want it to end. Well, that is until I got on the plane to California last Friday – then I raced through, finishing it with hours to spare that left me bored. I highly recommend this read and still can’t believe it’s a translated edition.
The second book, as I said is the total opposite. While the first definitely falls into the literature category, well, this next one can’t be called anything but fluff. Geeky fluff at that (hey I warned you I was a geek a while ago). Think Stephanie Plum of Janet Evonovich fame gets turned into a vampire and you’re almost there.
Undead and Unreturnable is just a bit of fluff that’s good reading after a deep book. Finished it in a couple of hours on the flight home from California, leaving me plenty of time to watch a movie and annoy Chris.
Last night I started whizzing through the next in the series, Undead and Unpopular which I’ll follow with I’m Not Scared.
Happy reading.
