Mirkat Always Reading
I'm always reading something, usually multiple books at a time.
John Dies at the End
This is another selection from the Albany Public Library Summer Reading Challenge. (Theme: "Out of this world.")
The audio for this book was over 14 hours long. I often found myself thinking, "Henry James would call this book "a loose and baggy monster." Come to think of it, the book actually features some loose and baggy monsters.
If this book were a stew, it would contain ingredients from Ghostbusters, Men in Black, Supernatural, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Fringe. There were parts that made me laugh out loud, but there were also parts that just rambled, on and on. And way too many dick jokes.
By the time the story got to its big twists near the end, I was exhausted. I considered abandoning it, but didn't want to because then I'd have to find another "out of this world" book to replace it with.
