The Swarm

Sorry it has been so long since I have written but tons has happened in my personal life. New job, new apartment, moving. Another reason is that I was reading the Swarm which is on the list of 1001 books but is close to 900 pages long. I finished it last week. I really enjoyed it but that may have been the science geek in me talking. The story is kind of an apocalypse story but based in the oceans, whales attacking, toxic lobsters and crabs. It is rather long and extensive and tones of facts are contained. Previously I was reading the Life of Pi. I was really enjoying the story that combined religion and a sort of Hemingway story. but then I started reading The Swarm so that I could discuss it on the discussion board of the group "1001 to read before you die" group on GoodReads.com Now I am stuck between books not sure what to start.

In terms of movies I haven't watched too many. I did see the Princess and the Frog. It was cute. I guess that Disney had finally gone back to the muscials and succeeded. I also just watched Star Trek by J.J. Abrams. Another great movie that I am glad to watch. I'm not sure how often I can continue to write because I am moving and since I am working on my budget it may be a while before I write again.
