It’s been a while since I cracked open an actual book. I mean don’t get me wrong I love reading, but I just find time, or the lack there of the problem.

I got this book for my birthday a couple of months ago and just never got around to reading it. Then before Independence Day (an associate thought it better to refer to it like that instead of the 4th of July, and I tend to agree) I found some extra time and thought I’d sit down with it. It was explained as starting out non-fictional and then going all Stephen King.

I was intrigued.

“The Terror” written by Dan Simmons.

Surprisingly enough it read fast. It’s almost 800 pages but it felt so much faster then that. I attribute that to good story writing, which is almost a win win situation. It would be, except I really didn’t want to finish it. I wanted it to keep going - so it’s not really a bad thing.
