Still reading Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King. I am a little over 4/7th of the book (almost 400 pages out of 700 pages). The book wasn't what I thought it was. It isn't about the world after all the women fell asleep, it's about when they stated to fall asleep, with some supernatural stuff mixed in, which I think is present in most of King's books.

I am enjoying the book, and going to read more of his work. Maybe not right after this though.

What about you all? What are you guys reading?

Recently finished Foundation and started Foundation & Empire but I can’t get into it. So it’s going to my abandoned pile. Sure Foundation had its moments but I just couldn’t care for the store or characters. Gonna try the TV show instead.

So instead I finally started Norse Mythology. Grew up reading norse mythology in school and at home so I know most of the stories but everyone praises Neil Gaimann so I figured I should give it a go. So far it’s pretty good.

    I remember liking Foundation & Empire, but it has been a while, but series spans over so many generations, so you have to be ready for change of characters.

    Does Norse Mythology stick to actual myths or changes them in the retelling?
