  2. I’m amazed that you couldn’t finish Bel Canto but could finish Idlewild–which has to be the all-time low on my reading list for the last 5 years. 😉 Hope the Church of Dead Girls was sufficiently creepy.

    A great thing about audiobooks, is that as long as you’re not hating them, or so bored that you lose all track of what’s happening, that AS LONG AS YOU DON’T ACTIVELY STOP THE AUDIOBOOK then you eventually reach the end.

    Why I “hated” those books at the time could have been my mood, the reader, or anything. They may be excellent books. There’s even a chance I may try them again someday.

    Church of Dead Girls was creepy, but mostly because it gave us images of horror. The actual psychological mumbo jumbo didn’t do a lot for me, and the final chase I lost a lot of because it didn’t hold my attention. What I liked best about the novel was the playing of building prejudices where trust starts crumbling.

  4. It’s been many, many years since I read CoDG, so recommending it was a risk, I recall the breakdown of trust was the most compelling aspect of the novel, though. It’s pretty cool to see how many books we have in common, and eerie to consider that I think we may have read Childhood’s End during the same month…coincidence, I’m sure. And I have to wonder if the unbelievable volume of Pratchett you consume has any effect on the humor in Spacetrawler . . . though I have to admit, I tried Good Omens and that was as far into Pratchett as I’ve gotten–couldn’t finish it, either. Hitchhiker’s Guide was difficult for me to finish, though I did, which leads me to believe comic sci-fi in novel form is a hard sell for me. Christopher Moore is one of the few comic writers that I totally get. Lamb and Coyote Blue and the 1st 50 or so pages of Island of the Sequined Love Nun are my favorites thus far.
