My God woman! Maybe you're headachey because you've read 2.5 books in the past 8 days. I've been on the same book for a month. I tend to savour rather then devour.

It's a bit misleading, actually. I started Forbidden Knowledge last month, and was over halfway finished by the beginning of January. I just finished it this morning. I also just started reading Chaos and Order this morning, so I'm not even a hundred pages in.

The Malkavian book was a pretty quick read, and I skipped a couple of parts because they are relevant only to present-day, and the game I'm currently in is set in the late 1700s.
