Sofa Shelf Update

Lots to read, not much time:

Narrative Verse - compiled by V. H. Collins

Nope

The Cuckoo's Calling - Robert Galbraith

No time :(

Racing Through the Dark the Fall and Rise of David Millar

So far he has experienced his first season as a pro cyclist, and has seen the world of doping. However, he is not involved himself yet. Didn't realise he cycled on the same team as Lance Armstrong

Celebrated Crimes - Alexandre Dumas

Having a break from the Borgia family for a bit.

The Lost Symbol - Dan Brown

Still fast paced. Don't know who to trust. Who is behind what? It is all very confusing, suppose I should read on for answers.

One Thousand and One Ghosts - Alexandre Dumas

So far I am yet to meet one ghost, let alone a thousand and one. There is talk of one, but those involved are doing all in the power to prove that the head was still alive when it spoke to the person who had removed it from its body. Their evidence comes from the Revolution when heads that had been removed by the guillotine rolled their eyes and gnashed their teeth in the baskets that caught them. Weird and gruesome.

When Pierrot Was Young - Alexandre Dumas

Finished this one, find out what I thought here.

Walking with God - J. C. Ryle

I'm not far from finishing. Like the other books by Ryle this comes full of challenges. Each chapter has a conclusion that does what it should and helps you process what you have just read.

The House of the Seven Gables - Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne should talk less and tell the story more. His commentary makes following a good story difficult. However, I'm liking the story and it keeps me reading.
