FF: Singularly Mixed Up
This Cover IS Representative
My current reading is a mixture of fiction and non-fiction, with more new to me material than I have been perusing of late. The mandatory pet picture will appear at the end, since I couldn’t get one of them to digitize and merge with the cover of Summer in Orcus.
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.
Recently Completed:
Maskerade by Terry Pratchett. Re-read.
Summer in Orcus by T. Kingfisher. A quirky portal fantasy with a varied cast and an unusual quest.
In Progress:
The Clockwork Boys by T. Kingfisher. Despite the title, I have been assured that this is not steampunk. It may become my new pre-bedtime read.
So, Anyway… by John Cleese. Audiobook, read by the author. Intensely detailed, sometimes very funny autobiography focusing on Cleese’s formative years. I find myself wondering if I remember this much about early teachers and jobs…
Our Oriental Heritage: The Story of Civilization by Will Durant. Audio. We’re touring the complex cultural heritage of India.
Also:
Sampling a heap of National Geographic magazines that lay fallow.
