Didn't get time to read anything this week either.

What about all of you? What have you all been reading or listening to lately?

Two hundred some pages into The Rise and Fall of D.O.D.O. by Neal Stephnson and Nicole Galland, and I'm thinking about dropping the book, which I rarely do. It could have accomplished in fifty pages what it's taken two hundred some pages to do.

While it occasionally has its moments, it's so boring. Which should be impossible. The whole government set up is a goldmine for comedy, and somehow it's still dull.

    To be fair, Stephenson is kind of a pro at doing in 200 pages what could be done in 50.

    I think Galland drags D.O.D.O. down. I read D.O.D.O., and agree with you (I pushed through it) and decided to give the sequel written by just Galland a shot. It was awful. I quit after a chapter or two.
