I'm finally getting back into reading after the earthquake, when between all that heavy digging and everything else going on, I just didn't feel like sitting down with a book. The turnaround began on March 18 when I had my "much-needed day off" and read and enjoyed Dragonfly Falling, the second in Adrian Tchaikovsky's Shadows of the Apt series.
Since then I have picked up Ian McDonald's River of Gods again and am starting to get into it. I suspect I would probably be enjoying this book a lot more if not for the earthquake and its aftermath. It's a fascinating premise with a lot going on, usually the kind of book I absolutely love—but which, of course, demands energy, and energy has been in short supply of late. So I'm enjoying it so far, but maybe not loving it as much as I would under more normal reading circumstances.
How about you—what are you reading right now? What's "hot" on your bookshelf? Or e-reader?
