I enjoy reading for pleasure, education and inspiration. I also like to play music and hang out with my (mostly sleepy) great dane.

    Thanks so much for your note. In most books I need to follow one character, identify somewhat with him or her.
    But here you have no choice, which is one of the reasons I thought to drop the book. Chuck manages to slowly
    pull you over to Rant's side. The scene you mentioned was not the point for me, but it does create just a twinge
    of sympathy for him...for your own mother to say that about you, and right to you. Thanks again...it should help
    me look at similar spots in the novel.

    Thank you so much for your recommendations! They are greatly appreciated. I have been searching for some new black humor/bizarre/satire authors to get into and have just stumbled upon Sam Pink and Andersen Prunty...I haven't read one of their books yet but just bought some for my kindle. I will now add Tim Powers to this list! If you do check out Pink or Prunty let me know what you think! :)

    Sorry for the delay.. Just didn't see the note. The reason I set it aside is that I am traveling a bit right now and I usually like fast paced fantasy books to go with travel. Children of the sky is not fast, whatever else it may be. I am definitely going to be done with it by the end of the holiday season at this rate and I will post about it then. But as I have mentioned before it is definitely not vintage Vinge. It definitely is not gripping enough even after 150 pages odd.

    Definitely...I am sort of taking a break from reading right now due to studying. I should get back to it end of May or so. This will be the first audio book I am going to get my hands on. :)

    Thank you for your honest opinion. This is definitely among the ones I am going to read soon.
