what... are... you... READING

[Pyraxis]

I just finished the three Locked Tomb books (Gideon the Ninth, Harrow the Ninth, Nona the Ninth). They're infuriating as fuck but also original, so I keep trying. She better put a satisfying ending into the last one, and not more ambiguous vaguely literary cliffhanger bullshit like the others.

Baseball Articles...

Might start up reading The Idiot.

Might start up reading The Idiot.

Then again... I'll start up Notes from the Underground first.

What language are you reading them in? What's the current book about?

English. I tried Spanish but my Spanish isn't good enough. The last one I read is about an ageing colonel waiting for a letter than never comes while being pushed around by everybody.

Now rereading Isaac Asimov's The End of Eternity. I've read it a few times before but really just felt like reading it again.

I have all the Asimov I can find, except for some of those enormous textbooks.
I have two, but it does not take long for me to bog down in the quicksand of Biochemestry, etc. Math is easier and very helpful.
Wish I had read these scripts when I was designing horn loaded speakers.
I keep reading and looking things up.
I can not say I have enough time left on this Earth to get it all.
Asimov was a rare mind.

All of his fiction is more than worth a read!

Asimov is great. His biochemistry stuff was beyond me when I tried but the writing was still great.

Asimov may have been smarter than Carl Sagan. Maybe. Both left me in awe.

Reread 11/22/63 (King). Still a great book.

And I reread The Door Into Summer (Heinlein), still as good as I remember.

Wanting to get started on Notes from the Underground.

Just finished How to Love Your Daughter by Hila Blum. It was terrible. Reminds me why I rarely give literary fiction a try.
