A book review! This is the end of days.

At the end of 2015, I finished off a novel and realized it was the fourth book that I had read in the year. This represented both a success and a failure. I didn't get through four entire books in 2014, so go me! But I probably could have done better. My count for movies was close to 50, and I polished off eight multi-season television series, about twenty seasons in total.

2016 will be different. Two full weeks into the new year, I have finished a 1300 page book. It was an ebook, but it was by Neal Stephenson, so it's listed at 880 pages in the dead tree editions. Woot! It compares interestingly to a couple other movies, so spoilers ahead.

Where we're going, we don't need books.
At least dead tree ones. They're heavy. And flammable.
