Yeah, but are you enjoying it?
I want to read A Christmas Carol before x-mas, but I'm still in the middle of World War Z. (The Z is for Zombies.) It's ok, not amazing, but I can't stop reading it. So...
I think the my favourite book this year was One Bullet Away by Nate Fick. It's about his time in the Marines (he was part of the Iraq Invasion) and it's actually incredibly readable. (I tried Junior Officers Reading Club on the back of it, and the authors style in it had me wanting something bad to happen to him. Which I don't think is something you really want from your audience.)
