[ACT] What are you reading?

[Oedipussy Rex]

Worked my way through God Emperor of Dune. Takes place thirty-five hundred years after Children and Frank Herbert is still trying to get it through reader's heads that the Atreides aren't heroes by turning Leto II into a literal monster. While there was plenty of action, there was also plenty of what I think of as "non-sequitur as insight." Or maybe I'm just old and no longer see the connections. At any rate, thin book marks the end of the story of Paul Atreides and his children.

I don't think I'll continue with the rest. After reading that the sixth book ended in a cliffhanger, not to be continued by Frank, due to his death but, by all accounts I've seen, very poorly concluded by Brian and Kevin J. Anderson, I'm really not interested.

That, and I also am starting to find prolonged reading a struggle. I started LeGuin's Earthsea trilogy after finishing The Wheel of Time and have yet to finish the third book. I burned through the first, took a little while on the second, and just died about halfway to three-quarters through the last. And I like LeGuin. A lot. Like this \_0_/ much.
