Mystery Book # 1 The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - The Hound of the Baskervilles (Book 5 of 9)

Well it was nice to read something much much shorter... I don't really have much to say about The Hound of the Baskervilles. I've always enjoyed Sherlock Holmes and this is probably the best one so far. I can't believe it has been so long since I read the previous Holmes book. Time flys... A

Horror Book # 35 - Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon

Well that sure took a while... I first picked up Swan Song way back on the first days of October 2018. The MLB playoffs had not yet begun, Venom was soon to be released in theaters and I started considering a Halloween costume. Now four months later I put down Swan Song and it feels weird to not have it as the book I'm currently reading.

Swan Song is a pretty good (if long) end of the world story. Why did it end? The book is from the 80's so of course it is a nuclear war between the US and the Soviet Union. I enjoyed the adventures of the survivors and how they have to learn to survive in a whole new world... just my one qualm is that none of the characters ever once discuss leaving the country. They spend the whole book traveling across the US which is a nuclear wasteland and never seem to consider that it might be better if they traveled to South America or something.

Wow, I can't believe I spent four months on this... and I really did read it most days too (albeit usually not for very long). Let's say A-.
