Lemony Snicket

[juldea]

Some people say that a sunrise is a miracle, because it is somewhat mysterious and often very beautiful, but other people say it is simply a fact of life, because it happens every day and far too early in the morning. Some people say that a telephone is a miracle, because it sometimes seems wonderous that you can talk with somebody who is thousands of miles away, and other people say it is simply a manufactured device fashioned out of metal parts, electronic circuitry, and wires that are very easily cut. And some people say that sneaking out of a hotel is a miracle, particularly if the lobby is swarming with policemen, and other people say it is simply a fact of life, because it happens every day and far too early in the morning.

Happiness Hotel...

These books are keen. It's a shame I've only read the first few. At least I know I have good stuff to which to look forward.

Reading a whole bunch of them at once gets old, because of the serialization... but once you get higher up in the books, say 6 on, the puzzle starts getting very interesting.

I don't know how much you know or want to know, so I'll stop there.

I just read the very first book in that series. I feel like I'm finally climbing out from under a pop culture rock.

2-5 are kinda boring because they're all the same, but starting with 6 the story gets more interesting and changes up some. Hang in with it.
