Read Out

I think I read myself out. My reading list lately has included:

Andromeda Strain - by Michael Crichton
Dirty Martini - by J.A. Konrath
Fight City - by James Scott Bell
The Man in the Mist - by Agatha Christie
The Girl Who Cried Wolf - by Robert Ferrigno
and I just started a well reviewed book A New World: Chaos - by John O'Brien

I'm having a hard time getting into this A New World: Chaos book. I wrote the other day about being on the cutting edge of current events. In that post I used the example of Texas secession. I think that's what O'Brien has done with his A New World series of books.

While looking for a new book the other day I saw a very well reviewed A New World book and in order to start the series I started with book one. It may have been too big a jump for me. I'm not commonly a huge fan of fantasy and this one is about Zombies taking over the world. O'Brien is trying to make it intriguing and gripping but so far he has failed.

Granted, I've been lately going through some fairly intense life changes so perhaps that, combined with the intensive reading I've been doing lately, has left me just a bit read out. I'll give O'Brien a few chapters till I give up. Like I said with The Girl Who Cried Wolf I almost stopped, but now I'm glad I went on.
