Reply To: What are you reading?

[villicious]

My boss strongly recommended that I read “The Passage” by Justin Cronin. The last time he strongly suggested I read something, it was “Hyperion,” so I was expecting it to be amazing. It was weird, because it increasingly followed tropes I expected in a postapocalyptic vampire novel, but I absolutely could not stop reading.

Then I told my boss I was finally reading it, and he sheepishly admitted he had recommended it to me while he was on about page 200, and on page 201 it became a totally different book that he no longer enjoyed nearly as much.

Now I’m reading the first of Mary Robinette Kowal’s Glamourist Histories.
