My most used app

I love goodreads, and I honestly believe it is the most used app on both my phone and my tablet. I love to read and this app makes it so easy for me to keep track of my reading lists, reviews, and what my friends are reading. They also do a lot of giveaways, and I've received some awesome stuff from them, like advance readers copies of books. I also find the yearly reading challenge super satisfying to work towards. Overall, I think anyone who frequently reads, needs book suggestions, or wants an information source for their books should use this app. 10/10 for me.

This was not an easy read, and was odd in places (but that's the point of it, right?). If I'm right, it's about the pointlessness of war, and of living and dying. Anti-religion, anti-government, anti-war, basically. The act of the main character being able to move seamlessly through time gave the impression that everything had already happened, will happen again, and is yet to happen.
Confused yet? I was. Well, I was until I read some passages several times, and flicked back to certain parts. Honestly, I'm glad it wasn't any longer. This was hard work, and decidedly harrowing in places. I'm glad I've read it at last and I do like a book that's a challenge!
