Currently reading: Extras by Scott Westerfeld
And how is it? Still good! The plot is fast-paced and keeps me turning the pages. It’s set in Japan, and I’m not sure how well Westerfeld conveys that (it’s pretty much just people using “-sama” “-chan” etc that points it out, and passing mentions of English being a second language). I’m going to look up criticism after.

Anything else? My roommate’s cat came to visit me. Not sure he really helped with the reading progress, but I still appreciated it.

Not 4 hours, just the 4th hour! Haha, that would be extreme. I am definitely enjoying my reading, and thanks for cheering!

Seriously, 4 hours cheering, so awesome! I hope you get a chance to settle down and read for a bit!

Haha, I just meant hour 4! I am impressed with how much people cheer, though!
