I have 12 review books, five of which are for here and seven for elsewhere. All of them are seriously cool. I have Mark Twain's letters-from-his-readers and an 1864 detective novel with a female protagonist and 2 spec fic series and a new volume abut John Dee. When I finish these I get to log into Angry Robot and see what they're up to. This, then, is my May reading. All I need to do is manage my eyesight sufficiently.

I want to dump my other work today and just start reading - it's a near-perfect selection of books. So much so, that it even trumps my Conflux reading. I've got a volume by Monod, for instance, on the occult in the Age of Enlightenment. I'm hoping it will fill a gaping hole in the main literature on the subject, but if it doesn't, I shall have much fun pulling it to pieces. If it does, it will also help me understand why so many 'rationalists' think the way they do - how our culture of reason works, in fact.

I was trying to explain what I do for a hobby now that handmade lace isn't so easy. I guess this post is my explanation...
