    Didn’t get much reading done last week; I’m about 40% of the way through On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers.

      How are you enjoying it? My Tim Powers experience wasn’t very conclusive, I need to read more of his work to see if I like it or not.

        I’m liking it pretty well (haven’t read anything by him before). There’s a big, foreshadowed event coming up pretty soon, I think, and then I’m not sure where it’s going to go, beyond “save the girl”.

        Did you have issues with Three Days to Never besides the first half being slow? This has been fairly quickly paced so far.

          Slow and dense, but that could just be me. It’s also possible I didn’t like the start because of my expectations. I was expecting a sci-fi, and while it is a sci-fi, it’s a very different kind of sci-fi.

          On Stranger Tides is one of his most known work, so will give it a try.

            Ah, gotcha. Yeah, something not being the kind of sci-fi you were expecting is always rough. I hope you find On Stranger Tides more enjoyable!
