Headache. Ow. :P Only finished one book and most of another today, as well as cleaned the kitchen and mopped floors and walked 4 miles. This series I’m reading, by David Zemmel or something like that, is … I don’t like it very much. The characters aren’t very likeable and I’m not particularly interested in the world. After reading the first book (actually I think it was the 2nd), I thought, “Well, I’ll give another one a try,” and some 12 or 18 months later I am, and I feel the same way about it.
The … annoying? thing is that they’re well written enough to keep me going. I don’t care very much, but it’s not badly written and I’m having a hard time convincing myself that I don’t *really* need to finish the books. It’s not like the Covenant books, where I really hated Thomas Covenant and kept reading because I’d started the series and felt obliged to finish…
…well, maybe it is, except I don’t dislike these nearly as much as the Covenant books. I’m too far into the one I’m reading now to give up, but perhaps if I’m strong I’ll skip the other two and read the 2nd two Carol Berg books I’ve got, which will be much more enjoyable. (Ok, so I went and bought the 3rd Berg book, which is sort of counterproductive toward the goal of clearing out the TBR shelves. Especially since I also got another nonfiction book while I was at it. And two graphic novels. Oops.)
Head still hurts. Gaming tonight will not alleviate that, either. Feh.
OMG. Totally cool. Carl sent me this link and I only just looked at it: artificial ice wall in Fairbanks. SO cool!
