Books you're currently reading???

Relic - Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

Think Indiana Jones and the Scary Beast Loose in the Museum.
Stupid and contrived, don't waste teh bucks. Figured out the twist less than halfway through, kept waiting for the characters to have the lightbulb go on, must have been burned out.



The Road - Cormac McCarthy

Boyfriend's taking me to see the movie in the next couple of weeks, figured I'd read it to see what it's about. I usually like post-apocalyptic fiction, but I'm more of a Canticle for Leibowitz or Alas, Babylon, or even The Survivalist, kind of reader. This is pretentious stream of consciousness crap. The world's ended and he's using words like "palimpsest?" Oh, puh-leaz.

I had to google that word.

Of course, as everyone here prolly already knows, "palimpsest" means "a manuscript or document that has been erased or scraped clean, for reuse of the paper, parchment, vellum, or other medium on which it was written."

I'm reading junk. Potboilers. Rags. They are very tasty.
