I just took a quiz on Flixster called "Pharmaceutical or Tolkien Character?" and scored a 70%. It was pretty seriously geeky and I think used character names from The Silmarillion which I was geeky enough to buy, but not to read.
So, I just couldn't "get into" the McCarthy book - I'll get back to it later this summer. For now, I am reading The Tenth Circle by Jodi Picoult. I think it falls into a genre somewhere between Young Adult lit and chick lit. I know she's really popular (perhaps for her controversial subject matter?) and I like the graphic novel within the novel, but I don't really like the book. I really dislike all of the characters but the father and, strangely enough, the accused rapist. I'm making weird faces to myself as I write this post so let me move on.
I spent over a week between putting down McCarthy and picking up Picoult reading almost nothing. Well, magazine articles in TIME, Bicycling, and Runner's World, if those count. Also, snippets of books on potty training (they need to come with magic wands) and lots and lots of story books. It was relaxing and sometimes I just need a break from literature.
I've also been following my father's blog and dreaming of hitting the road.
