Book: Otherland: River of Blue Fire by Tad Williams
Why: My husband recommended this series of 4 mammoth sci-fi books. I read the first volume for easter and this second one this summer. Each book is 800 pages, so I need a lot of time on my hands to make any real progress :)
How far: I have about 150 pages left and now my vacation is over...
Why?
