I ran out of novel....

[Rukh O'Rorke]

and I'm tweaking....

I've been reading this book for a while, and I found it an unusual experience. It was nearly 600 pages, and it held my interest without being exciting.

With an exciting novel, I stay up way too late . There's action and mystery and something is happening but you don't know what and you just got find out the next nugget of info.....and then the next.....one night, I got caught up and read all night and had to go to work. I finally finished it during my lunch break, lol!

But this book was enough that I started looking forward to it as bedtime drew near, but it wasn't so interesting that I didn't get sleepy and put it down  well before midnight.

It's been a great balance to my stress. It's 9 pm, and I'm thinking about work/school stuff, and I need to unplug. I'm bored enough I might start doing some research stuff, but then I'll have insomnia again.

oh - lol - it was american gods by neil gaiman.

I didn't think my review was so stellar peeps would want to know.


I actually dreamed about research/data last night. I need to find another novel that won't get me all reading-through-the-night, but captures my interest enough to call me to bed on time.

I couldn't get into that book,  but I really do like Gaiman.  I think my favorite so far has been Neverwhere.   You might want to check that one out. 

I know what you mean about finishing a book (in my case a series) and feeling adrift until you find another one. 

**Guilty Pleasure Alert**   I am and avid Zombie Apocalypse reader.   For about 2-3 years I listened to a series Adrian's Undead Diary on the drive for my monthly work trips.    The series was 8 books and I had a firm rule about not listening to them outside of the car (which is the only reason it took as long as it did) I panicked when I finally finished them.   I did finally find a replacement; sadly it was a series with only about 5 books and I didn't follow my rule to listen to them only in the car,  so I've finished that one too!  (not ZA but a fun sci fi series (Old Man's War by John Scalzi) 

So now I'm screwed again... Anyone have any good series recommendations? 

I know what you mean. I reconsidered finishing it throughout the first 100 or so pages. It was an odd mix of interesting and don't-care-what-happens-next that made for a good transition book (transition from daytime concerns to sleepy time).

Already read neverwhere . That one was more exciting, finished it up over a weekend. But - I won't have that kind of time/interest to devote to a novel until maybe christmas break - if then.

I was a binge reader long before binge watching was a thing (and I binge watch too..... )

Have you watch dark matter - a canadian scifi show? I think it's pretty good. first 2 seasons are on netflix, and I'm looking forward to the next.
