When reading multiple books at once, it helps if you are reading different genres, even better if one is fiction and other is non-fiction.
How are you liking Dark Matter? I picked it up for some reason that I don't recall, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
it's pretty good so far. it's mostly fast paced with a few slower, introspective chapters. There are a few fun ideas in the book so far (according to my app I'm 66% of the way through the book) and I'd like to see them explored a little more, but it's been an easy read for me.
I'll also say that I'd likely be done with the book if I wasn't deliberately slowing myself for the sake of the reading group. I am at a point now that I might just end up finishing it because I won't be able to put it down.
Interesting. Thanks!
just finished it today and I gave it 3.75/5. Mostly because I felt like the ending was just okay. If I explained my gripes with the end, it'd get deep into spoilers but if you enjoy reading for the ride and not the destination, it's pretty good. If you need a book to stick the landing, maybe pass.
