Reading, for me, is entertainment and an escape from the real world. But it can also inform and stretch the boundaries of the life I live.
There are approximately 50 million characters introduced already and I'm not even past the first chapter. There's no way I'm going to be able to keep up with all the characters and clues in an audiobook format, so I've put the ebook on hold at the library (72 holds - literally - in front of me) and I'm reshelving this one until my number comes up.
