Roy is on page 66 of 511 of The Number of the Beast

I forgot how much I hate Heinlein's smug characters. Excessively smart, rich, physically perfect and self confident. They never seem to express negative emotions such as self doubt, insecurity, jealousy or envy. Barely human

I'm liking the story, but I'm not sure how I feel about the episodic nature of the release. Every Tuesday, I finish the new episode before lunch is over.

Roy is finished with The Golden Age of Science Fiction Vol. I

These short stories are filler if I have 20 minutes to kill.

All Spell Breaks Loose (Raine Benares, #6)

Roy is on page 10 of 336 of Reinventing the Sacred: A New View of Science, Reason, and Religion

Very early in this work and there are already some interesting ideas being dangled in front of me. It strikes me as a 21st Century Deism based not on the Clockwork God of 18th C. Deism but on emergent phenenoma from 21st C. science. Very anxious to read more.

Roy is on page 169 of 438 of The Snow Fox

Really struggling with this after 7 weeks. It doesn't help that I have 2 audiobooks going and 2 very interesting ones on the To Read shelf. I'm not sure how much more time I'm going to give to it.
