I haven’t been posting here very much, but life has been going on. And to be fair to WordPress, I haven’t been posting on Facebook much either. I don’t really find myself at a PC where I have time for posting that often. Didn’t do very much this past weekend as G played out most of the time. Seven hours a day because the weather was brilliant. Perfect days to sit in the living room and watch some cricket on the telly.
Books I’ve read:
7. The Wasp Factory by Iain M. Banks – Not nearly as good as I remembered. I wasn’t fooled by the “Twist” the first time and I knew it this time. Not ever again. This is a giver.
8. The Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie – Good, solid fantasy; nothing spectacular, but enjoyable
9. Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett – Listened to this on audio book and it was a good, light fantasy. We live in the era of the non-humorous Terry Pratchett. He used to be funny and a bit cutting, but now he is the establishment. Enjoyable in any case.
Reading: Dune by Frank Herbert. Only 20-30 pages in, but it has me riveted again. Such wonderful mix of Sci Fi and mysticism.
