Finished The Circle by Dave Eggers. While the subject of a social media monopoly coupled with transparency propaganda feels current and paints a scary picture of total surveillance near-future, the way the story is told is quite bland, characters are rather dumb in their behavior mostly and there is lots of redundant repetition of what are essentially the same scenes. I'd say, don't bother.

Finally getting around to reading A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin. Love the show, so figured I'd give the books a go!

For some strange reason I'm reading the autobiography of Wil Wheaton: Just a Geek.

Old Popular Electronics from when transistors were the shiny new thing.

A Dance with Dragons by George RR Martin

I have to get ready for the next season on HBO and it took me over three months to read The Fires of Heaven - the fifth book in the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. Granted I had the Holiday seasons, new job duties, and new girlfriend that had me neglecting my daily reading schedule, but that was a long freaking book. Though, it was very enjoyable as well.

I love that DwD started off with my favorite character, Tyrion. Hopefully, this book will be as enjoyable as all the other ones in the series. Just please no more Sansa, kill her off or something, then next on my list to bump off will be Cersei.

I just don't get the Wil Wheaton love, he really annoyed me in the Next Generation. Perhaps, I have to stop holding that grudge and listen to a podcast or two of his.

I don't get the love either, at least not yet. In fact, I had no idea who he was until I started reading the book (I got it in an e-book bundle and mostly thought "why not" as I had just finished another book that I can't recall the title of at the moment). I thought I vaguely recognised the name from somewhere long ago, but didn't (and still don't) know from where, what or why - might just as well have mixed it up with another.

No, I'm not particularly good at remembering actors and their roles in movies or TV series. I'm better at remembering the characters they play, but that's definitely not a given either.

I'm going to begin with Assassin's Quest, the last part of Farseer Trilogy, by Robin Hobb. I hope this book improve on what has gone before. In my opinion, this is a trilogy with some ups and downs.Actually, I began to enyoy it near of the end of second book even if it's considered a model in modern fantasy.

Just started Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and must say I quite like the writing style.

George MacDonald - The Complete Fairy Tales

The Golden Key.

Ah yes, I really must get back to it someday and finish it.

Just read "Revival" (Stephen King). Ho hum. The writing was decent, although I still think he does too much padding. I didn't find the story shocking or scary or even all that interesting; it was actually rather flat to me.

I'm currently reading Assignment Gestapo by Sven Hassel.
