Exactly. But I'm curious.
Anyway, I'm reading the sample of The Passage by Justin Cronin and I'm completely hooked so far. Apparently it's about post-apocalyptic vampires/monsters, which would not be my thing (the vampires, the post-apocalypse I enjoy), but so far I can't stop reading the damn thing. I'm wary because lots of people on goodreads are saying it's like that for the first 250 pages or so, then it gets boring. I guess I'll pay to see. And I'll have to wait to start Voices in Tchernobyl, since this is 900 pages long in Portuguese! (766 in English.) If you're curious:

An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amy—abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. But Special Agent Brad Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl and risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape—but he can’t stop society’s collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world.
