In light of my running failure I threw myself headlong into my book challenge.
Okay. Maybe that is a lie. I did some reading. That is probably more accurate. I did manage to polish off Against a Crimson Sky which was fairly good. It is a bit of a romance/drama type book set in Napoleonic era Poland. Err. Not Poland since at that point it had ceased to exist. The book essentially follows a family as the husband, and later the sons, join Napoleon's army in hopes of rebuilding an independent Poland.
Once I finished that I started reading The Raw Shark Texts which is interesting so far. I can't really say what it is about as I'm still fairly confused. Something about a thought-fish (which is really a shark) seeking out someone's identity and then destroying their memory. Sounds strange, I know. A book review said something like "the bastard love child of Jaws, the Matrix, and the da Vinci Code" so I picked it up at the Vernon library book sale for $0.50 as I figured I couldn't lose!
