Just started The Orb of Cairado by Katherine Addison, as a palate cleanser. I expect it'll be cozy.
Finished Fever House by Ken Rosson. This started very fast-paced, but (imo) got bogged down by (interesting) flashbacks. I enjoyed it, but would have liked it to be shorter, somehow. Not sure I'll read the sequel, since this one swerved into a sub-genre I don't usually go for.
Reading (listening to) War of the Noobs, and honestly it's getting a bit stale. It didn't hook or make me really laugh like earlier books on the series.
Recently finished This Inevitable Ruin, and DCC is always a good time.
I just finished The Grace Year by Kim Liggett and loved it, and am about to start Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology for my horror book club.
Listening to the Salvation sequence by Peter F Hamilton.
And reading, A most elegant equation by David Stipp.
The Sword and Shield, the history of the KGB. I'm nearly half way through it, it's fascinating.
Never Split the Difference, a reread of what is typically called the best negotiating book. I've not read one better.
Lonesome Dove on audiobook. The production quality is pretty bad, but the story is good.
Perfect Victims And The Politics of Appeal by Mohammed El-Kurd
It seems to have nice reviews, what do you think about it? Does it cover the conflict for mostly ignorant?
I'm still reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. My area had some unexpected weather a couple weeks ago so I've been off my usual routine.
The book is good and I'm about half way through. I want to finish it by tomorrow.
Nice. I should read it sometimes too. It has been on my backlog for so long.
Can't believe I never got around to it on the first go-round, but Nick Hornby's "High Fidelity."
