Has it really been ten days since I last posted? Time moves too quickly.

Speaking of quick, Dearly Devoted Dexter was a fast, fun read. The first in the series, Darkly Dreaming Dexter was pushed on me by someone whose previous recommendation made me roll my eyes through 400+ pages of re-packaged thriller cliches. Although I was skeptical, Dexter turned out to be enough of a pleasant surprise to make me want to read the second in the series and make a mental note to watch for the third's paperback release.

In contrast, my current book progresses slowly. Since our Remainder discussion will be reenacted this month, it's fitting for me to be rereading the book. I speculated I might not enjoy it as much on a second go-through, but I was wrong. When I read it the first time, I plowed through in only a few days because I was excited about getting to the ending. Now, however, I'm moving more slowly to capture some of what I missed...much in the same way the unnamed narrator slows down certain scenes.
