FF: Collaborative Reading
Persephone Makes Money Under the Table
This week I read the entirety of the first issue of DreamForge Magazine. Now Jim is reading it, and we’re having a lot of fun discussing the stories. I think of this as collaborative reading or at least a reading group of two. I also very much enjoy seeing comments on what you’re reading. Often it influences what I start looking for to read next.
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:
Going Postal by Terry Pratchett. Before bed. This is one I enjoyed much more on a second reading than I did on a first!
In Progress:
Making Money by Terry Pratchett. Re-read. Before bed.
Our Oriental Heritage: The Story of Civilization by Will Durant. Audio. We’re now to music and art in India. This book was written in the mid-1930’s, before George Harrison of the Beatles made sure everyone knew what a sitar sounded like.
Also:
Reading a combination of short fiction from various sources and almost, almost catching up on my magazines!
