May 2012

It will take melonger than a week to read since its over 800 pages long. I'm going on a trip so it will be good for the plane.

I've read about 400 pages. It started out strong but seems to be petering out. Hopefully it will pick up. It's got a decent sci-fi-ish end of the world as we know it premise but the middle really starts to drag.
