The Woman in White - Wilkie Collins

I think I'll forever love this book. I started reading it in the hospital while in labor and read the whole thing while breastfeeding my son. I get sentimental just thinking about it. As to the story itself, not overly exciting. As this is my second Wilkie Collins book, I've noticed some themes. 1) The explanations for the mysteries are totally unreasonable. 2) The books read quickly and are interesting. 3) The main characters aren't very complex - you don't even understand why the bad guys are bad. A page turner, but barely a classic.

The Art of Shen Ku - Zeek

Completely unsure why I bought this. I guess I thought it could be funny, but it's more like a comic book geek's guide to nothing. Big waste of time- 0 stars.
