Working my way through Julian May's various Galactic Milieu series (Pliocene Exile, Intervention, and the GM Trilogy). Currently on Diamondmask.

Tried reading "Discovery of Witches" by Deborah Harkness.
Ugh. Got thru 100 pages of "I think I love you, but I can't" without much in the way of plot. Couldn't imagine slogging thru another 400 pages of more of the same.

Still working on "Dracula". Two hundred-something rambling pages in and they've only just resolved the Lucy situation. I'm supplementing it with rereading Next Men.

Both of those are good reads, Steven. It seems like I've been waiting forever
for the seventh RANGER'S APPRENTICE novel to go to paperback!

Just picked up Tina Fey's new book BOSSYPANTS. I was cracking up in Costco reading the jacket and first couple of pages. Hope that's an indication of the laughs I'll have because it's moved up to #1 on my reading list.

Started rereading WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE (1932) last night. It's a bit more of a slog than I remembered, with the rather portentous style of the prose -- characters tend to speak in paragraphs -- and of course it's insanely non-PC (one of the leads has a "Jap servant"), but the "time capsule" element is still fun.In the first few pages, for instance, one of the main characters is sent on a mission to deliver vital documents to New York as quickly as humanly possible, starting out in Cape Town, South Africa. He flies the length of "the Dark Continent", hops across the Mediterranean to France, where in Cherbourg he connects with the fastest ocean liner available! (In those days, that would be around 25mph!)

I just finished "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal" by Christopher Moore. Hilarious book and one I definitely recommend, regardless of your religious beliefs! Next up: "Storm Front" by Jim Butcher. I am finally getting to The Dresden Files books.
