FF: Preconceptions

I think I’m finally “all better.” Well, except for autumn allergies, and those are simply to be taken in stride.

For those of you just discovering this feature, the Friday Fragments lists what I’ve read over the past week. Most of the time I don’t include details of either short fiction (unless part of a book-length collection) or magazines.

The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list. If you’re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive recommendation list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.

Once again, this is not a book review column. It’s just a list with, maybe, a bit of description or a few opinions tossed in.

Recently Completed:

Clouds of Witnesses by Dorothy L. Sayers. Audiobook. Re-read. A book about how preconceptions are, perhaps, the greatest cloud of all.

Jingo by Terry Pratchett. Now that I think about it, another book about preconceptions.

Wolf’s Rain, volume 2, by BONES, Keiko Nobumoto. Art by Toshitsugu Iida. Manga. Completes the tale. I’ve heard the anime also has a less than full ending, but I’ll admit disappointment that the manga (which came later) didn’t fill it in more. However, some of the best manga wolves I’ve seen.

Fairytale, volumes 6 and 7, by Hiro Mashima. Manga.

In Progress:

Thief of Time by Terry Pratchett. Read this soon after it came out in 2001, and maybe once since. Time (heh-heh) for another read.

Before Midnight by Rex Stout. Audiobook. A Nero Wolfe tale. Oddly enough, time is a major element in this tale. Synchronicity?

Also:

Finished my review of Through Wolf’s Eyes and will be padding along.
