Of course, the 8,762 page count is based on the print editions and I read quite a few of these by listening to them on my iPhone at the gym. Not sure I would have made it through all of Stieg Larsson if I was having to read all the Swedish names and places instead of listening to them. And of course, the more interesting the book was, the more reason I had to go to the gym. But, it was kind of awkward listening to some of the things that Lisbeth went through while trying not to look horrified while riding the bike.
Ender’s Game was the only re-read of the year. It was for a book club. We were also supposed to read A Wrinkle In Time but it just didn’t catch my attention this time around like it did when I was kid. Instead, I read When You Reach Me which was about a girl whose favorite book is A Wrinkle In Time. Compromise.
Daemon and Freedom (TM) were better than I thought they would be and Downtown Owl kind of sucked.
