Books! Books! Book!

 I have about 12 tabs open to different ebooks and I can't decide what to purchase. We are taking the train to New York City on Thursday which is ELEVENTY BILLION HOURS long. Okay, just 11, but still. Has anyone read the following

Thanks for the input. I wasn't crazy about Rebel Angels either, it was one of those 'I don't get what the big deal is' books for me. I actually forgot I read it and bought it twice which, understandably, pissed me off. I think if a author is that ummemorable I should save my money. ;)

I do like Pratchett but only as an audiobook. I have discovered that reading humor doesn't scan for me but listening to it (especially when the reader is so good) is great fun. Maybe I should try China Meville as an audiobook and watch the New York State scenery passing on by.

Alright, Swamplandia & Devil in the White City are in the lead.

I looked it up. Looks intriguing (I love the angst potential of know you love is cursed to love you back) but I am wary of starting another unfinished trilogy. I devoured the first two books of Mira Grant's Newflesh (sorry, I love puns) trilogy and now I have to wait till June 2012 for the 3rd. I am not good with delayed literary gratification.

Oh, she wrote The Spiderwick Chronicles (I'm wiki'ing her). I haven't read them but I enjoyed the movies. I love good YA writers.

Devil in the white city is so brilliant. I really need to reread it soon.

Alright - Devil in the White City is purchased along with Erik Larsen's new book about an American family in Berlin during the lead up to WWII. Thank you! Now I just need to find something lighter as a counterbalance.

I've started Devil in the White City and am very much enjoying it :D
