I have been incredibly delinquent in updating this blog and for that I apologize, dear non-existent reader.

Here's what I've read recently:

Blackout, Connie Willis,
The Good Wife, Stewart O'Nan
The Traveler, John Twelve Hawks
The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas

Dear non-existent reader, I am ashamed to have read so few books in 2.5 months!  However I have been quite busy, yes, I am plotting to take over the world!  Actually no, but I am plotting to get my PhD and that has been draining.  The end is in sight though!

Comments on these books:
Count of Monte Cristo was good albeit slow.  It was an interesting look into a different time and place.  The Traveler was actually quite interesting and grabbing, although pretty far into the scifi realm.  The Good Wife reminded me of Room in the way I wanted to know how it ended but wasn't really interested in it.  And Blackout was interesting but excruciating in that the characters just seemed so dumb!  There is a sequel that I would have read, but I couldn't stand reading through an entire additional book of the characters being incredibly dimwitted.
