Harry Dresden Files: Grave Peril

Yesterday I finished reading “Grave Peril” by Jim Butcher. For the entire book series so far I’ve expressed one central yearning, and that was for one of the characters, Karrin Murphy to die a slow and agonizing death. Everyone who I know who is further ahead in the series promises me that things will get better, and now that I’m reading Thea next book, Summer Knight my response to them is “We Shall See” 😉

The story so far is very formulaic and about 65% organized like a Stephen King story, with a beeping truckload of detail and action way at the end. Scott has promised me that stating with book 4, Butcher gets something he didn’t have before, and that is a Tor editor. I’m only in the first few pages, but it does look promising. I’m hoping that the subsequent books are quicker reads than the first three, but only time will tell.

Reading List

These are the books currently in my reading list:

1. Fool Moon by Jim Butcher
2. The Phenomenon of Man by Pierre Tielhard DeChardin
3. On Love & Happiness by Pierre Tielhard DeChardin
4. The Art of Happiness by The Dalai Lama
5. Grave Peril by Jim Butcher

The most current list reflects my pursuit to get off the black spiral and find some other way to be. So far Fool Moon is a re-read as I’ve listened to the audiobook a few years ago. I’ll be getting back I to the swing of things with that series once I finish off the three other books.
