Giving Up on Dies the Fire For Now

Even though I've been reading it for a month, I'm only about 2/3s through Dies the Fire, and I'm struggling to finish it. Having a two-year old at home, most of my reading is done in 20 minute blocks during my lunch hour each day, so it takes me a while to get through books these days.



To make matters worse, I stopped by Borders today and came across Batman: No Man's Land, and it looked good enough that I'm going to take break from Dies the Fire for a while.



This particular Batman story is a novelization based on a series of graphic novels from the last couple of years, by the same author. It's vaguely post-apocalyptic-ish as it takes place in a Gotham City devestatad by a disease and a major earthquake. A la Escape from New York, the entire city is quarantined from the rest of the country, and the remaining residents are left to fend for themselves.



Hopefully, I can get through this one a bit faster and then get back to finish the last one.

I really liked "Dies The Fire" and there are several sequels as well. Finish it if you get the chance.
