I had trouble getting into the book and struggled to remain interested through the short lulls that revolved around the narrator's everyday life, but despite that, the book was pretty damn good and a lot of fun. Found it hard to put down and ended up breezing through it in a couple reading sessions. It is one of the few books that managed to leave me smiling as I turned the last page.
Not sure what I am going to read next...

So winter* draws to an end, and a new Challenge steps up! Any good reads planned for September?

That's a pretty hefty list of things to be reading at the same time.

I can never decide what type of book I should be reading, so I just do all of them at once.

I would think that would be a thankless and tedious task

I should've known you'd react that way, after your Luxemberg readings.

I read Dune for the first time last year, and it was not what I was expecting.
