Just finished Heat 2. Liked it better than Heat.
It was funny reading the written version of Chris, given Kilmer's performance is...I dunno...portraying someone who's a bit hapless. But in the book, he's this deeply profound, tortured soul. Was also fun hearing McCauley and Hanna's dialogue as I read it, because (as much as Pacino's performance pisses me off) both characters are so indelibly acted with such iconic line delivery. |

I've finished God Emperor of Dune. I'm not really sure what to make of it.
I've started Patrick O'Brian's Master and Commander, and I'm loving the prose and the characters' manner of speaking. I'm getting a Hornblower/Sharpe vibe from it. |

I have put Master and Commander aside, for now, as I haven't felt like reading it for the past month.
I have, however, started Chapter House of Dune. I'm digging it. We finally get to delve further into the Bene Tleilaxu. |
