18 October 2010 12:14I've uh, finished some more books, but I'm not reading at my previous pace.
-Finished Passchendaele, which was... well I liked it, as a glimpse into WW1 life, but it was less about that than some kind of strange loss of faith and regaining faith story. The ending being a 'christ carrying the cross' metaphor and none of it terribly well written. Perhaps the movie is better, I do have a lot of faith in Paul Gross as an actor/screenwriter. No idea who the ghost writer on this book is.
-I also read Just Bones, which was a mystery that someone left laying around at work forever, and I read it on my lunchbreaks after rescuing it from a pile of things to be thrown away. It wasn't bad, pretty good mystery. It read easy, nothing terribly challenging - more like a slice of life than an actual crime-solving story since the solutions pretty much just fall into the main character's lap slowly.
Um, yep. That's it. 35/50. I have definitely fallen off the wagon. I am reading Sherlock Holmes and The War of the Worlds, but it's such garbage that I kind of want to rip it in half. However, I'm probably a third of the way through it through sheer self-discipline. Thus committed, I must pursue.
