Unfortunately I just finished Stephen King's
Doctor Sleep
. A poorly written and embarrassingly bad novel full of annoying characters, telegraphed twists, silly middle school vulgarity, and deus ex machina at every turn. When people call me a lit snob I just point to writers like him and say "why wouldn't you be?"
I'm reading some Hawthorne right now to get the bad taste out of my brain.
@Jane Eyre, 50 shades of grey, was nothing like I anticipated. I could of easily give up reading, but I stuck at it till the very end. Not sure if I'll read the rest of the series or not. I feel like it's written for teens. I've certainly read plenty of more raunchy, better scripted books. Not sure what all the hype was about.
And Stephen King, I'm not into his books either, I find him rather boring, have tried to read a few of his books and I believe I only finished one of his, Carrie. Not sure what the hype is with his written works, I've read better disruptive horror writers.
Wow the ending of Empire of the Dragon. Hopefully the next book in the Event Group deals with trying to get to either the fleet of Grays ships stuck right outside the solar system if i recall Overlord correctly, or travels to the home planet of the Green aliens.
70% done A Quantum Mythology, it seems the author is making the modern day story third timeline quasi-lovecraftian but not actually lovecraftian, just things that would cause an unaugmented human to go insane like 5th dimensional cities.
About to finish A Quantum Mythology. I don't like body horror in movies (why I skipped upgrade) but the body horror in this book is quite good. The ancient britain subplot isn't too interesting.
Will buy constance verity saves the world again and pinnacle city a superhero noir next month. And after I finish the beauty of destruction I'll probably finally start the iron druid chronicles.
