FF: Mixed Chocolates

Cayenne (16 week old edition) Reads

This week my reading reminds me of a box of mixed chocolates.  Lots of variety.

And now for the usual reminder…  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, because I 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 my scattered research reading.

Completed:

Hickory Dickory Dock by Agatha Christie.  Audiobook.  Hercule Poirot.

The Bards of Bone Plain by Patricia A. McKillip.  Slow start, but a very good story.

Pigs Have Wings by P.G. Wodehouse.  Audiobook.  Extremely silly, which I needed.

Tokyo Babylon by Clamp.  Manga.  Issues 1 to 7.  Originally published in the mid-1990’s, this has an end of the millennium vibe that doesn’t date the stories. 

In Progress:

The Secret of Chimneys by Agatha Christie.  Audiobook.  Spy thriller crossed with country house mystery.  Inspector Battle.

Harrowing the Dragon by Patricia A. McKillip.  Short stories.

Also:

American Archeology, current issue.  Very focused on how new scientific techniques are being used in conjunction with older ones.
