The Reading Update & Unnecessary Opinions

I hit a little bump in the road.  Or to use the metaphor I attributed to my early reading success, my freight train ran off the tracks.  The last book in the first catagory I was reading was just not my thing.  It is a “continuation” of a very famous story written several hundred years ago.  I am not a fan of a new author continuing a much loved book long after the original author is dead.  I didn’t enjoy either of the continuations of Gone With The Wind for the very same reason.  I say quit messing with perfection.  Along that vein, it should also be illegal for anyone to remake Hitchcock movies.  And they sure as hell shouldn’t be allowed to colorize black and white films.  Who are “they” anyway?  Horrible people, I say.  Self serving #*%^&#!……..

Wow, I just ranted away on one heck of a tangent there.  Sorry.  Thanks for hanging in there with me.

SO, because that book is quite long at 500+ pages (or rather much longer than any of the other entries), I set it aside so I could blow through the other books and then plow through that one at the end without worrying about missing my deadline.

I’ll finish this one in a day or so and give you an update.  It’s a pirate story and you know how I feel about pirates.

Yo ho ho.
