aamcnamaraRidiculous revision dash:
According to my "5k a day!" plan, I am behind. This is because I spent much of yesterday: a) working at the archives (I got to 1903!), b) on buses, and c) hanging out with friends. So I, um, only did 4k yesterday. But I might get a bit further in the rest of today, so.
Updates on a couple of books read:
Issola, Steven Brust: I seem to be really good at picking up weird books to start with. This is definitely not the first Vlad Taltos novel. It's a credit to Brust's skill, however, that I still felt like I got more of what was going on than I sometimes do in other people's first novels of series. (It probably helps that I've read Phoenix Guard.) I will keep trying, though. Maybe someday I will actually pick up the first one.
A Conspiracy of Kings, Megan Whalen Turner: Mostly my reaction is, "Wow, I really need to go back and read The Thief again." These later novels are drawing a whole lot more out of that than I realized was in there; many of the details have fuzzed in my brain. I couldn't decide if I liked the format or not--or rather, in some ways I did and in some ways I didn't. Still, I enjoyed the read (and will likely reread The Thief soonish), and look forward to any more books.
