FF: Reading On A Jet Plane
Ogapoge Reads
One of the things I really enjoy about traveling is having time to read. This time, I experimented with only taking my Kindle (well, and a notebook and pens) and it worked out pretty well.
For those of you just discovering this part of my blog, 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.
What are you reading?
Recently Completed:
Spoonbenders by Daryl Gregory. Multiperson POV works very well in this novel and is crucial for the character of Buddy.
Weave a Circle Round by Kari Maaren. A time travel tale that’s a whole lot more than an excuse for alternate history or for explaining why we are the way we are today.
In Progress:
The Betsy-Tacy Treasury by Maud Hart Lovelace. I’ve re-read the first couple of volumes and am now reading Betsy and Tacy Go Over the Big Hill. I didn’t take this omnibus volume with me, but I’ve started Downtown.
The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas. Audiobook. The race to get the message to England is underway. Porthos, Aramis, and Athos are down for the count.
Odin: The Viking AllFather by Steven S. Long. Steve and I discovered a shared love of mythology when I insisted that I needed to know who my paladin’s deity was – even though we were only playing for two hours. (In case you wondered, I chose Freya.) Good read so far, with great illustrations chosen from depictions ancient through modern.
DreamForge: Tales of Hope in the Universe. Mockup issue.
Also:
Catching up on magazines. Still.
