Murder Most Unladylike (Murder Most Unladylike, #1)

Will is on page 257 of 317 of The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage

This is the only graphic novel I've ever read which not only has footnotes, but also endnotes, some of which themselves have footnotes. Three levels deep!

Will is on page 119 of 320 of Summerland

"Peter Bloom found himself haunting an ammunition truck while Madrid burned." is an amazing first sentence for a chapter.

Will is 16% done with Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time

Substantially more stuff about killing people than I expected. (The author was previously a soldier.)

Will is 74% done with Children of Time (Children of Time, #1)

Apparently this is a mere 600 pages in paperback but based on my ebook progress it feels like it ought to be a doorstop.

Will is reading Prisoners of Geography

The text was enlightening, though I don't know how much of it would be news to anyone who has ever paid attention to geopolitics before.

The maps, on the other hand, are hopeless. Maybe it's just a limitation of the mass-market paperback format but they did a poor job of illustrating the features and border disputes described in the text. More annotations on more maps needed.
