Marty Fried is starting Cat & Mouse
I'm lucky, this, like the last one, is narrated by George Guidall & Richard Ferrone, two favorites.

Marty Fried is 79% done with Nutshell
I'm getting tired of this one, so I'm going to put it aside for now. There are definitely some good parts, but they are separated by too much repetitive slowness.

Nutshell

Marty Fried
Marty Fried is 40% done with China
It's beginning to drag, with a lot of talk about fighting everywhere. I'm going to move on to something a little more interesting.

Marty Fried is 41% done with Love Over Scotland (44 Scotland Street, #3)
At first, I almost quit thinking this was just too slow to hold my attention. I guess I forgot that I enjoyed the first two. After reading a bit, I am no really enjoying it all, especially Bertie.

Marty Fried is 50% done with The Terracotta Dog (Inspector Montalbano mysteries)
I'm probably not going to finish this one. I enjoy the characters, but I'm struggling to keep up with the story itself; it's just too hard to keep up with the characters and places, being unfamiliar with the Italian (Sicilian) names.

Marty Fried is 17% done with Twilight at Mac's Place (Mac McCorkle, #4)
Haven't finished this, but I already want to reread every one of his books that I read before knowing how great they were.

Marty Fried is 65% done with A Shot to the Heart
Aw, it was too easy; I figured out who did it and how within the first few pages.

Just kidding, actually it was revealed. Now I'm reading in the hopes that the perps die a horrible death, or at least get nailed. Killing somebody for money is, to me, the worst thing to do. Self defense or even a fit of passion is more understandable.

Marty Fried is 71% done with The Day That Never Comes (Dublin Trilogy publication order, #2; Dublin Trilogy chronological order, #7)
I'm not sure why, but I have been having trouble keeping engaged with this story. Maybe it's just not a good time for this book, but I'm going to put it on hold for now. I've lost track of who's who, and what's what, and I obviously need to catch up... but not right now.

Marty Fried is 35% done with The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
This is getting boring and I don't think I'll continue. I believe the term for what I'm feeling is that he is belaboring the obvious. Perhaps I'm just not the audience he's writing for. It's getting old.

Marty Fried is 8% done with Anna Karenina
I was enjoying this book, but it's hard to read. I didn't read for a day, and when I tried to continue, I had forgotten many of the characters and decided that I might try again in the future, but not now

So far, a great book. Can't stop reading, except when my eyes get blurry from the emotions of feeling for humans and dogs.

Marty Fried is 54% done with Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man
The book is interesting, but getting boring as I learn less and less that's not already known just by following politics. Now, I'm getting more interested in how to stop him, and why people worship him.

Marty Fried is 62% done with A Tale of Two Cities
I don't know if I'll ever finish this one. It's getting hard to read; sometimes, I read a paragraph a few times and still have trouble understanding what it says. Maybe I'll try again in the future, either this ebook, or an audiobook version. Or perhaps a video version. Or Cliff's Notes!

This is getting boring now. Maybe I'll read more one day, as it's not bad.

I need something a bit lighter right now, so hopefully, I'll get back to this.

Marty Fried is 28% done with My Dark Vanessa
Not only boring to me right now, but a bit too aggravating to put up with the boredom. Maybe I'll pick it back up in the future if I think it might be worth it.
