A different sort of book. A young man has been disfigured and his life is a struggle but he seems to have come to terms with it and lives simply. He runs a through the mail sort of dungeon & dragons game--popular I guess back before internet but even still with internet he has fans that send in monthly money to do the game. A young couple he was corresponding with took the game way too seriously and tried to actually follow it in real life--the young girl died & the boy is in critical condition in hospital. He was taken to court on this but seems like there was no case. This book told a story but seemed to me like it never really got anywhere. After I finished I checked and seemed like well received but I guess just not for me.
There are like 10 WL for this book on PBS so I will get it mailed off some point.
Also just a quick note, not sure if I will finish another book this year or not--have one short story book that is a maybe. But at 108 this is a new high in books read for me. I have already told myself and a few others that I will not be trying for the 100 books read next year. I noticed I was picking books to read based off how quick I could finish them and don't like that--so now putting it in writing too--hopefully won't do that(at least not too much). I will make sure to grab a few long reads and just enjoy without any pressure of just finishing the book.
