Rome Is Finished



Thankfully,  "The Vengeance Of Rome" by Michael Moorcock, the fourth and final part of the Pyat quartet, is over. While I wanted to know what happened, it was hard going, and the protagonist was very annoying. That was 2,200 pages of reading that I just wanted to end.

My next one is An Utterly Impartial History of Britain: (or 2000 Years Of Upper Class Idiots In Charge) by John O'Farrell which, thirty pages in, is a bit of fresh air and fun, but there are five hundred pages to go on this one.

While I will never read these books again, it has still been a strange and interesting journey. I still have two-thirds of this book to go.

I am still reading "Imajica" by Clive Barker on my Kindle. This is a book I never want to end. When I finish it, I just restart it.

I recently discovered that my American Amazon Author page has a feed from this blog, which you can see here. It only shows on the .com site but not on others. C'est la vie.

The music is "The End" by The Doors
