Um, right, I'm supposed to be talking about what I'm reading.

I normally read two books at a time: one at home, and one during breaks at work. My choices for the latter are restricted to books that have section breaks every 15 minutes, which limits things considerably. Pratchett of course works well, and I found out last year that Steven Erikson works too, so after reading Midnight Tides at work, I decided to re-read the previous volumes in the series. I also decided not to booklog my re-reads.

Then two weeks ago I noticed I was only halfway through Deadhouse Gates, and at that pace I wouldn't finish until the end of March, which would only leave me about a month to re-read House of Chains before The Bonehunters arrives. And since I didn't have anything to read at home right then (no one publishes stuff I like this time of year), I brought it home to finish (and took Issola to work so I'd have that re-read before Dzur comes out in August[*]). And just as I was starting HoC, I received my copy of the final electronic edition of The Spriggan Mirror, so I re-read that (I didn't notice any significant changes from the first draft), and the included short story "Sirinita's Dragon", which I should have booklogged, but that night I came down with a bit of stomach flu (or something similar). And since I don't care much for short stories in the first place, it's probably better if I just don't comment on it.

While recovering, I finished HoC, and then last night I read the Prologue and first two chapters of the webcomic A Miracle of Science, (recommended in a discussion of my favorite webcomic, Girl Genius) which is amusing so far.

Speaking of GG and inconsistency, I've decided that I will booklog Agatha Heterodyne and the Circus of Dreams when I get it, even though I've already read it.

[*] Today I heard a rumor that Dzur will be offered as a Baen WebScription in May.

Next Book: Lawrence Watt-Evans, Out of this World
