FF: Is It Okay To Remind You?
Kel Contemplates The Empires
Wolf’s Search is officially released. I’m mentioning this because I know that many of you show up on Friday to see which adorable member of my non-human family is posing with what book. If you want to know more about Wolf’s Search, here’s a link to my announcement.
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, by the way…
Recently Completed:
The Crown of Dalemark by Diana Wynne Jones. Final book in the Dalemark Quartet. If you’re willing to try a series that’s going to break a lot of your expectations but pay off in the end, then I really, really recommend this series. Diana Wynne Jones shows another side of her talent in this excellent series.
In Progress:
Caesar and Christ by Will Durant. Audiobook. The Roman republic is beginning to slide. We’ve left politics to look at art and drama.
Also:
“Buffalo Dogs” by Lawrence M. Schoen. Short story. If you like stories about con men, space stations, weird aliens, and even weirder alien animals, you can try this tale as a free e-book. Not as sophisticated or thoughtful as his Barsk, but still fun.
