FF: Here and There
Persephone Goes for ThudI’m juggling a lot of things: PT (for a messed-up rotator cuff), writing, holiday prep, and, whenever I can fit it in, reading.
As most of you already know, the Friday Fragments is not a book review column; it’s a list of what I’m reading and maybe a bit about my opinions. I always read the comments section and enjoy learning what other people are reading. Oh, and I don’t usually list shorter works unless in a collection or articles, I also don’t usually list scattered research reading.
Completed:
Nightwatch by Terry Pratchett. Although this book has some excellent jokes, it’s much darker than the other Watch novels. I love it nonetheless, but it’s not always an easy tale.
Black is the Color of My True Love’s Heart by Ellis Peters. Audiobook. A folk music seminar brings conflict and tragedy.
Thud by Terry Pratchett. Thoughtful and funny. In some ways, speaks very much to the question of as cultures evolve and the comfortable preconceptions of the past are challenged.
The House of Green Turf by Ellis Peters. Audiobook. A bittersweet mixture of romance and regret, tangled in with a mystery, and a very dramatic ending.
In Progress:
Snuff by Terry Pratchett. This is the last of the books focused on Vimes and the Watch. Vimes is outside of the city he knows so well, but it may be that his stumbling on a crime is not merely a coincidence.
City of Gold and Shadows by Ellis Peters. Audiobook. Archeology mingles with modern murder.
Also:
Not too much else… just a few articles here and there.
