The reading year did not have an auspicious start. I was reading a book called Greek Fire by Gabe Penn. It got very bogged down and the dialogue was atrociously repetitive and wooden and you weren't sure who was talking half the time. It's a kind of conspiracy/spy adventure sort of thing but as i couldn't finish the book, i have no idea how it came out. I dropped it about half way through. When the "aaaaagh" factor starts happening on every other page, you know it's time to go. So book number 1 of 2012 is a fail. I do count it because i did get half way through. I've still got a few other books on the go from 2011 but I suppose as they aren't finished, they'll go on the 2012 list. Nearly done the new Diana Gabaldon one, Scottish Prisoner. Much better!
