well, i'm half way through it and.. i'm bored. i've been more or less bored with it since the beginning. i'm sure i'll come back to it. i'm just not in a steampunk mood right now.

update: 2/9/9 i've finally come back to it. it's taken 80 pages for me to get into this book, but it has me by the frontal lobe now.

2/17/9 haven't been reading as much as i'd like, but this is definitely the only one i'm reading right now. great book. quite gripping.
