^^AHA, dude, that's just a different kind of feat. Two years without reading a book is pretty impressive!

But, seriously, I've stopped reading entire books. Just skim and read the informative/interesting parts. No need to slog through a bunch of stuff you don't care about just to say you did.

The Lathe of Heaven is one of my favorite books and I haven't been able to get into any of her others. sci fi with taoist philosophy mixed in.

The Corrections frustrated me at times, but in the end I enjoyed it. Franzen's diction is pretty impressive. I don't often have the experience of never having seen a word.

"How does Ship Breaker #2 improve upon the first?"


It is set in the same world, but it has all new characters. Alot more action in the second book with a faster pace since he doesn't have to spend much time world building. I read throught that book really quick and liked it. If you like the world setting from Shipbreaker, then I suggest you give the Drowned Cities a shot.
