FF: Get Going
Roary Wonders What’s For DinnerWhen the going gets tough, the tough get going. Me? I tend to read, and with Jim’s surgery this week, I have done a fair amount.
For those of you unfamiliar with this column, 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. And it’s also a great place to tell me what you’re reading.
Completed:
Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook. From reading the Miles books, I know much of the “what happened,” but I’m finding the details of the “how” more than enough to keep me interested.
Dinner at Deviant’s Palace by Tim Powers. Before he became renowned as the master of “secret history” tales, Tim Powers wrote this strange take on post-apolcalyptic LA. I haven’t read it for years, but I’ve been sucked right in.
Veni Vino Vegas: I Went, I Got Drunk, I Got Married by A_N_D from Archive of Our Own. Clever Good Omens Romance/FanFic.
In Progress:
Paladin’s Strength by T. Kingfisher. Book two of the Saint of Steel. Good re-read for a stressful time.
Barrayar by Lois McMaster Bujold. Audiobook. Darker than Shards of Honor, as it should be.
Also:
Reading the most recent Vogue. Amid the fluff and stuff, a very interesting article about foods grown/created from algae, some of which are apparently already in stores. Interesting.
