    I saw the movies back in middle and high school but I never got around to reading the books. Started the first one like twice but for some reason I never finished. And I feel like it almost happened again. For like a month I had read 60-80 pages and I just wasn't hooked like I wanted to be. Tom Bombadil is the woat. But I was home sick earlier this week so I decided I would power through that and get to the better parts. Happy I did because it's obviously a really good book. Excited to read the other two.

    Ranking is on Rivals Scale

    5.4 - 2-Star
    5.5 - Low-End 3-Star
    5.6 - Mid-Tier 3-Star
    5.7 - High-End 3-Star
    5.8 - Low-End 4-Star
    5.9 - Mid-Tier 4-Star
    6.0 - High-End 4-Star
    6.1 - 5-Star


    1. H is For Hawk - Laura Macdonald - 5.5 - High quality writing, but narrative just not that interesting to me.
    2. Armada - Ernest Cline - 5.5 - Page turner, but that is the only thing keeping it above 2-Stars
    3. Dead Wake - Erik Larson - 5.9 - Another quality historical non-fiction effort by Larson
    4. The Innocent - Harlan Coben - 5.8 - Typical Coben book for me. All are good very few are next level, but it is thriller fiction.
    5. Missoula - John Krakauer - 5.6 - Interesting for the most part, but so repetitive by the end. Could skim entire chapters.
    6. Into The Garden of The Beasts - Erik Larson 5.6 - Worst Larson book that I have read. Not that compelling a story.
    7. Shadow Prey - Lucas Davenport #2 - John Sanderford - 5.6 - Average for that genre of novel
    8. Eyes of Prey - Lucas Davenport #3 - John Sanderford - 5.7 - Better than the second book, but not spectacular
    9. A Highly Unlikely Scenerio - Rachel Cantor - 5.5 - Weird time travel novel, not my cup of tea
    10. An Ember in the Ashes - Sabaa Tahir - 6.0 - Dug this first installment. Excited for the two follow-up novels.
    11. The Black Ice - Harry Bosch #2 - Michael Connelly - 5.8 - Good detective novel. Bosch series is up there for me with Reacher and Bolivar.
    12. The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas - 5.7 - I liked it, but so long. Took me two weeks to read, plus I got the book on podcast for going to/from work.
    13. The Shadow of the Wind - Carlos Ruiz Zafon - 5.8 - Pretty good book, not great, but enough to make me interested enough to read next one
    14. All The Light We Cannot See - Anthony Doer - 5.6 - Just couldn't get into it.
    15. Make Me - Jack Reacher - Lee Child - 6.0 - Like all the Reachers, but got into this one.
    16. Red Seas Under Red Skies - Scott Lynch - 5.9 - Good book, but a notch or two below Lies
    17. Under The Banner of Heavan - Jon Krakauer - 5.9 - Fascinating look at Mormonism especially Polygamists.
    18. The Giver/Gathering Blue/Messenger - Lois Lowry - 5.8 - Young Adult Books, but The Giver was strong. Can read them each in like 2:30 hours.

    read Feed by MT Anderson while flying home from Vegas. Still not sure if I liked it or hated it. Interesting read either way though.
