February already! What are you reading?

We read "The Professor and the Madman" by Simon Winchester for book club this past month. I listened to the audiobook and liked it pretty well. It's about the writing of the Oxford English Dictionary and is far more interesting than that might sound.

This month's book is "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern, which I'm also listening to on my commute. I just started it yesterday, and it's pretty damn awesome so far. I can't wait to see where it goes.

I started "The Audacity of Hope" by Barack Obama a few nights ago. It's all right so far, but I'm not very far into it.

I finished The Burn Palace. Good ending, totally enjoyed it. Rowan, did you start it? What do you think?

I started The Truth in Advertising at lunch. Seems like a take on Mad Men set in current times. There have already been a few to many celebrity name drops, like Gwyneth Paltrow working on the ad campaign in the book. I'm only about 40 pages in so hopefully it picks up a bit.

The beginning of Burn Palace is weirdly bumpy. Granted I'm only about 10 pages in...I think I need to adjust to the author's style maybe.
