Still fitting in some reading time for Puzo's masterpiece when I can manage it. Just about to start Book II. End of Book one: "The War of the Five Families had begun". LOTR and GoT eat your hearts out!

This, however, was recommended very highly. I've been hearing lots about it for the past few years but it was Jordan Peterson placing it as his #1 recommend book (with regards to his intellectual development) that finally pushed me to start listening to it.
I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. But I'm not far enough into it to give any kind of verdict. |
I found it engaging at first then I got really bored with it. Probably didn't help that I had just wolfed my way through
Nineteen Eighty-Four in three days. Again.

Rich bastard.
