Finished Water Sleeps and Soldiers Live. Well, the omnibus isn't called The Many Deaths of the Black Company for nothing. Bloodbath. 8O

Now on with The Jennifer Morgue. Meh. It's funny, but it seems kinda forced.

Haven't posted here in several days...

Currently reading two, which is unusual for me.
I started The OASIS Guide to Asperger['s] Syndrome yesterday, and I'm around page 100.
Earlier today, I started a philosophy book, Contemporary Thought, and I have around twenty pages left. I am on the last section, which regards existentialism.

A history of protest songs in popular music. And it confirms one important fact that I already knew: Protest songs don't really change a thing, but they're (usually) excellent publicity for the artist.

^^^cynic :P

Finished The Jennifer Morgue and The Fuller Memorandum, ho-hum. Read Homage to Catalonia which was quite good. Waiting for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to arrive in't post. Wouldn't normally be my choice of subject material but enough people are raving about it that I got's to know.

I couldn't get past the first thirty or forty pages; it was too dry and dull. I hear it gets better... around page 200 or so. I just couldn't read that mass of boring for that long.
