I didn’t get to do this last week as I was STILL reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin and it took me 12 days. Since reading After Dark by Murakami I’ve been suffering from a bit of book block where my reading just slows down and I get highly distracted – mainly by this blog actually!
So since Monday 31st May I have been reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin.
Yesterday I started Stardust by Neil Gaiman. It is my second book by this author – my first being American Gods which I did not like very much. I gave it two stars in fact, but I always said that I would give him another chance.
So, recently I got persuaded by several people that Neil Gaiman ia awesome and I should read Stardust. So here I am.
So far I can say I like it, it is better then American Gods but I’m reserving any further opinion until I get to the end.
I don’t know what I have coming up after Stardust, but I have a feeling I might choose something with gritty realism.
Wow you are very ambitious. I tried reding Harriet Beecher Stowe, but never finished the book. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan. She isn't the best of authors but she has passion.
ReplyDeleteI will have to admit that I am not a Gaiman fan. I just can't get into his style or voice. I hope you like Stardust. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI have not read Gaiman. Hope Stardust comes through for you. :)
ReplyDeleteI've read a couple by Gaiman and enjoyed them. I have not read Stardust yet.
ReplyDeleteI really like the title of American Gods and thought it'd be an amazing book. :D We'll see how amazing it is when I read it one day.
ReplyDeleteStardust was okay for me too but I prefer the movie.
Happy reading!
I love Neil Gaiman. I really liked Neverwhere.
