Book 10

Book 10 was "First Amongst Sequels" by Jasper Fforde. I picked this up because it was cheap. And I wasn't expecting much from it. The story, in general, reminded me of the style used by Terry Pratchett, except that it was literary based, and not fantasy based.

Overall, the story is good, if a bit confusing, as it is apparently book four or five in the overall story series. I will have to maybe try to pick up one of the earlier books. On the plus side, the story stands on it's own, and you don't seem to need to have read any of the other books to have the ability to follow along with this one.

Looking at the date, and the low count of books read this year, I have to wonder if there's going to be much chance of hitting my goal from the start of the year. Perhaps - is the best I can say, but I really doubt it.

Days 80 and 79

Both days 80 and 79 were rest days. Not much more to say about them other than they were most welcomed - and I ate too much on both days.
