FF: I’m Also Reading
Ziggy Wants To Go On An Adventure With Digger
In addition to what’s below, I’m also reading a couple of GURPS gaming supplements because they make interesting, non-stressful, pre-bedtime reading.
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.
I enjoy hearing what you’re reading. You may see it appearing on my reading list down the road.
Recently Completed:
Cart and Cwidder by Diana Wynne Jones. Book One of “The Dalemark Quartet.” Very strong. More serious than many of her works, but given that my favorite of hers—Dogsbody—is also serious, I don’t automatically think of her as a “humor” writer.
In Progress:
I Sing the Body Electric by Ray Bradbury. About two-thirds in. Limiting myself to one or two stories a day so I can think about them.
Digger by Ursula Vernon. Graphic novel. Who wouldn’t love a story about a wombat mining engineer caught up in a dark fantasy adventure?
The Life of Greece by Will Durant. Audiobook. We have just finished Plato and are into Aristotle.
Also:
I’m just about done reviewing the copy edited manuscript of Wolf’s Search. The cover for Wolf’s Search is nearly done and lovely. I need to write the dedication, acknowledgements, and decide which of the review quotes to include. More of the little steps that go into a new book…
