Current Reading
Just finished Old Man’s War by John Scalzi and The Crucible of Time by John Brunner. I went to Half-Price Books tonight (always a dangerous thing) and walked out with six, count ‘em, six books. The good news was that four of them were on the clearance shelf and I got them for $1.00 each, so very little damage done to the wallet (the others were only $4 and $7). I can’t remember the last time I bought a book from Barnes and Noble, even though I’ve been there dozens of times in the last year. But set me loose in a Half-Price Books and I’m guaranteed to come out of there with something.
I picked up Summerland on the advice of Barry who read it a few years ago. I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s like. I’m way behind in my reading this year, having only finished 10 of the 30 books I want to read. The studio build really set me back, but fortunately I’m back at it, so I should get in the mid-twenties by Christmas (don’t laugh, Scott and Katherine, some of us are slow readers!)
