I just started this. The only way my library had it at all was in ebooks in the omnibus version. So I think I have 5 books to read in 2 weeks. I was on the hold list for it so no chance to renew at the end. Wish me luck.

Don't worry it will suck you in. It's a great series. Are you on the wait list for the next 2 in the series yet? ETA: Adding the Wool series order... I got a bit confused there are 3 books in the series Wool, Silo, and Dust. All but Dust contain multiple 'sub-books' I'm not on the waiting list yet, I was waiting to see if I liked Wool first. It's so hard to tell how long a book is by the ebook, but I'm already into Proper Gauge and could have gotten into book 3 for all I know, I tend to not look hard at those type pages, I'm looking for more story. ETA: I have this book because it was recommended last time we discussed books.

I read a book by Edith Wharton once. The main character of the book had it terrible the whole book, in the end things start going her way and looking good for her, then she accidently overdoses on Laudinum and dies. You probably then would not like Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton. Way too depressing and full of irony. That is a reasonable assumption, but I have read several books or stories by her, so there must be some reason I like them. I have read Ethan Frome.

A rather bleak life for the three characters in the book.
