30 Days of Sharing: Days 13 & 14: A Fiction and Non-Fiction Book

[tellys]

I am reading (almost finished with) Sunshine right now. I borrowed it from the library on the basis that the cover had a quote from Neil Gaiman, saying, "Pretty much perfect." So far it is really interesting, and don't let the cover fool you if it reminds you of a vampire romance novel. I was wary when I picked it up, but there has only been one moment in it so far, which was not so much romantic, although it was momentarily explicit. I am enjoying that part of the novel - the main character isn't head over heels in love with a vampire; she's more absolutely terrified and wants to get on with her life. Can't wait to finish it tonight!

I don't normally read non-fiction; I have nothing against it. It would probably take me ages to get through one, though. I have just started checking out some audio books, and while I'm not a reader of non-fiction, it's easier to listen to it. Right now I'm listening to The Big Burn, and it is so far really excellent at bringing history to life. The author has a jaunty writing style, and I am learning more about Teddy Roosevelt than I've ever known, which was not much to begin with.
