Another week where I didn't get to read anything.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?

I'm almost at the end of The Twelves, by Justin Cronin. It's a bit more fast paced than The Passage which is the previous volume of the series that I read just before but a bit less "deep" also. Anyway, this is a very good trilogy so far, really gripping. Of course, once I finish, I will continue with The City of Mirrors.

I had my issues with the series, have read the first two, but haven't gotten around to the third yet. Not sure I want to continue.

Well, personally I'm at 30% of the third and I enjoy it. In my opinion, for what I already read, the second one is a bit behind the first and last (at least the beginning) where I really find back what I loved in the first (basically the author take time to give the context about characters in full details).

Now, if you don't enjoy, well everyone his own tastes, don't feel ashamed to not finish the series (or even a book), there are so many other books you may love, why wasting time just "to finish"...
