Working on a Long, Creepy Book

I'm presently in the midst of reading Drood by Dan Simmons, a nearly 800-page fictionalized account of the last years of Charles Dickens, and his obsession with a mysterious, nefarious figure. As narrated by Wilkie Collins.

So far, it's fantastic, but it may take me a little time to get through it, and I want to save some of it for my red-eye to Pittsburgh this weekend.

So, until next week...

Have you read "The Professor and The Madman", about the creation of the OED? Great book!

This post title is how I felt reading Breaking Dawn, but it was a different kind of creepy. You seem to read better books than I do.
