Sometimes you just want more time to read, and this is what I’m feeling from reading these two books. One is shocking, and you just keep on reading, Blackwater is an excellent work of journalism, and The Last Wish is a fantasy book that just keeps you enticed. There isn’t enough time in the day to read all that I want, and I have the tendency to forget the time when I get pulled into to them and the result is lack of sleep.
