After I returned from tour, I first dug into final stages of editing Full Fathom Five, because I needed that book done. Then I went around seeing friends, and reassembling pieces of the house that had decayed or gone missing in my absence. And now, I’m churning through my bookshelf, because every writer needs to fill the tanks without distraction. Some books I’ve finished recently:
The Big Roads, by Earl Swift
Seeing Like a State, by James C Scott
2312, by Kim Stanley Robinson (Hugo Deathmarch ahoy!)
Throne of the Crescent Moon, by Saladin Ahmed (ditto!)
The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other Stories, by Gene Wolfe
Full Fathom Five, by Max Gladstone (though that one is sort of cheating)
Some books coming up:
The World of the Shining Prince, by Ivan Morris
Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead (re-read) by Sara Gran
Claire DeWitt and the Bohemian Highway (first-through) by Sara Gran
Divided Highways by Tom Lewis
Up Jim River, by Michael Flynn
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, by Tom Robbins
Green, by Jay Lake
What are you reading these days?
