Guest velocipede2288 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Now I am reading science fiction to give me a rest from Detective fiction for a while. It is an anthology of short stories called, The Legend book of Science Fiction. 670 pages to I have got lots to go yet.I have read stories by Damon Knight, L. Sprague de Camp, Theodore Sturgeon, and noe Richard McKenna. None of which I have read before. Quote
Guest velocipede2288 Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Trying to read a Dalziel and Pascoe thriller but going to sleep and I am not 200 pages into it. I usually love these books, but this one is just boring. Readers Digest would have condensed it to 200 pages and made it interesting. But as it is,it just sends you to sleep. It is On Beulah Hights.

Michelle Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Do you wish to discuss these books, because if so I can edit the thread title, to help future readers . Alternatively, you may wish to start your own reading log? Quote
Guest velocipede2288 Posted October 5, 2009 Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) After 300 pages it is beginning to pick up, so determined to finish it, but definitely a book that could have done with less words. Edited October 5, 2009 by Michelle bolding removed - please see posting guidelines Quote

Guest velocipede2288 Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) I finished On Beaula Hights, thank goodness! I love Reginald Hill's books normally, but this one did go on a bit too long. I am reading an Ian Rankin book now. A Rebus novel. Strip Jack. Edited October 6, 2009 by Michelle bolding removed again Quote
