In re-reading some of my past posts I see just how lazy a "reviewer" I actually am.
Sorry!
I mean to write more and include relevant passages from the books I am currently reading but I am often writing while at work and essentially pulling double duty. The issue with this is that something grand and winding like The Terror boils down to: "it good" as though that were enough to properly convey my feelings on the topics of these books.
I don't really feel to guilty when covering books like The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, because it has a rather expansive wikipedia entry, but then you go on to look at The Terror for example it just boasts a few paragraphs which read like solicitation from a catalog rather than anything meaningful.
Anyway, I have been reading my current book for what feels like forever and I am really looking forward to wrapping it up and moving on.
I have a few options at hand. All Heads Turn as the Hunt Goes By, The Earth Abides and Throat Sprockets have all been looking rather good to me, but then I also have a few Graham Greene short story collections that I would like to cram in. Perhaps the rather short stories will act as a good counter balance to the ballast of my current selection.
