I am a slow reader, so pushing through a single book takes quite a bit of time for me. I am surprised I am in book 6 and, if things go as planned, should be in book 7 shortly. Perhaps part of the problem is the fact that I still don't exactly find the series enjoyable, quite the opposite. It seems these books have a pattern of making themselves much longer than they should be by devoting a lot of chapters to pointlessness, then hastily adding some climatic stuff towards the end. 600 pages into this book, I can finally say stuff is happening. Before that everyone was basically sitting around and saying stuff had to be done, but nothing was being done and no plot was actually being built. Now I can see how this can become a 15 book series. The good news is that the prequel is apparently very small in comparison to a regular book, plus as I said I am getting past the largest of the mountains.

As I said, I have a tendency to procrastinate, so I cannot make any promises. I hate reading, I think I have learned that for a fact, and so a few pages goes at a snail's pace. The good news is the fact that this book also ties into a game by the same name made in 1999 that was apparently pretty big at the time, probably one of the biggest on the original Unreal engine beyond Unreal itself.

I wish I could try out stuff like that. I really wonder what a lot of titles I haven't played are like. There are so many games I haven't touched, so many I would like to see. I am a gamer, I love playing games. One day maybe I will be able to play them like I would want to, it is just a matter of clearing out the large roadblocks.
