I finally finished The Stand. Dang, that was a long read. I was disappointed in the ending, but still a good story. I tried to start a sci-fi book recently (blanking on the title) about a man who gets a message from God who tells him where he actually is and eventually this man will join others to travel to where God is. The idea sounded intriguing but the author's writing is so bad, I can't get into the book. I don't even know how it got published.
So, I started on another book I just bought called The Genesis Code. (A reporter heads to The Middle East to join some archeologists to try and figure out the discovery of some ancient ruins there, etc, etc) So far, it's not too bad a read.
