Brian is 52% done with The Windup Girl
So far it's great! Well drawn characters and well drawn setting, great plot. Horrendously depressing vision of the future tho.

Brian is 45% done with The Count of Monte Cristo
I thought reading "Game of Thrones" was a slog. This is incredibly descriptive and incredibly dense.

Brian is finished with Childhood’s End
Fantastic story! I can see why it's a classic of the genre.

Childhood’s End

Brian is 65% done with Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk
So far it's pretty terrible. Billy Lynn, a heroic US army soldier from the Iraq war, reflects on civilian life vs army and the recent PR tour his squad finished.

I'm roughly 2/3 through and I'm not sure I'm ever going to finish it.

Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk

Brian is finished with The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington
Generally good but James Bond this ain't. It's more of a who's who of wartime Washington, along with an overview of Roald Dahl's wartime experience. Its a bit of a slog at first, but it gets interesting with time. It's definitely the other side of the war we all know from history and Hollywood, this side is just more subterfuge and allies spying on allies than violence. 3/5.

It's a slow read; James Bond this ain't. It's interesting and I'll finish it tho.

It's a bit of a odd start; it just throws you in and you have to catch up. Pretty good so far though.
