I'm about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it's ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I'm looking forward to moving on to Stephen King's The Stand.

I have books scattered throughout the house, and so what I’m reading changes depending on where I am.

  • If I’m going to sit outside, I’ll grab the book I keep on the table next to the back door. Currently that’s Stephen King’s Bag of Bones

  • If I’m going to read in bed, then I pick up Tuesdays with Morris by Mitch Albom

  • If I’m going to read in the bath, I’ll grab my Kindle and work through Alma Katsu’s The Deep

  • If I’m in my office chair, I’ll work on The Gentle Art of Verbal Self Defence, by Suzette Haden Elgin

Kind of a funny way of going about things, but there it is, heh

I usually have several books going at once, but just based on that moment’s whim. This sounds like a more efficient and less cluttered way of going about it!
