My "Featured Poll" question asks if I use my tablet "for reading". I got my tablet expressly for magazines, but reading a book on an LCD screen is a type of torture. Nor do I use my tablet for movies or games. WHY U NO HAVE "Other" OPTION?

Brainycat is 14% done with Black City (The Lark Case Files #1)
This is already miles ahead of the crap I've waded through in the last couple of days. If the rest of the book is this good, it'll be 4/5 stars.

Brainycat is 20% done with An Agreement With Hell
Loving it so far! An excellent understanding of the history of Abrahamaic religions makes for an excellent story about angels, demons and devils.

Good collection, though not as "steamy" as it is "twisted".

From http://thegingernutcase.blogspot.com/... So you equate “literary” with difficult? With me, it’s pretty much the opposite. Getting through more than a page of any book that seems to have been written for (or possibly by) a mental defective causes me actual physical pain.

I am clearly a man of extremes. After not reading anything except photography and optical science books for months, I spend a month reading about a dozen fictional books. Unfortunately, my photography has not progressed during this time. And I have hundreds of photos I need to go through, and I need to finish my photo website. Blech. Working for a living sucks when you have hobbies.

Brainycat is 75% done with Mockingjay (The Hunger Games, #3)
It's such a quick read, there's no point not finishing the series. And it's better than Catching Fire.

I still don't know if Phedre or Joscelin are right or left handed. But I know more about the colors of their clothes than I could possibly imagine.

I'm a bad reader. I can't keep track of all these names. Interesting world building though.

Brainycat is starting Thirteen
51 books read this year, not including a fuckton of nonfiction. I should be able to knock this out in a couple days and average at least 1 non-edifying book a week.
