Been having trouble finishing Amber Spyglass given the stress of the week, so I started and finished The Songs of Distant Earth by Clarke instead.
Definitely enjoyed the novel a lot. Might have enjoyed it more than Rama and Childhood's End. I'll have to think about it.
This weekend, barring any unfortunate stressors, I should be able to finish both Amber Spyglass and Son of Neptune. I'm reading the Percy Jackson overall series out loud with my fiance so the reading is MUCH slower than I usually can read.
Edit: Started and finished Zia which is the sequel to Island of the Blue Dolphins.It's not as good as the first one but it was still pretty good as a sequel.
Now onto Amber Spyglass
