kjpepperbook pull picked up. Visual Bookshelf on facebook now gleefully proclaims me to be reading six books. I sternly told myself I wasn't allowed to start any of the other ones until I finished The Long Goodbye. Not that this is a chore - it's a pretty excellent book - but I'm just ADD enough to start ALL of them right now and we can't have that, lol. :)
So currently in my stack of books:
Raymond Chandler - The Long Goodbye. Almost done with it.
China Mieville - The Scar. Yes, I'm still working on this, bite me.
Laura Joh Rowland - Bundori I really want to throw my panties at Sano Ichiro.
James Alan Gardner - Commitment Hour. I didn't dislike Expendable, but it didn't exactly wow me either. Giving the next book in the series a go to see if he improves any, I mean, hey I was somewhat bored silly with The Warriors Apprentice but the rest of the Miles Vorkosigan books are amazing, so imagine if I had given up on the series after that! So yeah.
Sherwood Smith - Inda.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sundart had started this before we moved and had left her library copy in the bathroom at Camp Amoeba. From the two chapters I'd read it seems like a fun read.
John Burnam Schwartz - The Commoner. I'm a little apprehensive about this one, as I'm very afraid it's going to be another scary White-man-writes-in-the-voice-of-Japanese-woman fiasco a la Memoirs of a Geisha, which I'm slightly ashamed to admit I loved when it came out. I'm a sucker for anything set in not-contemporary Japan, so I'll see how it is.
It's far too pretty to spend the rest of my day inside, so I'm off to the porch to finish up Goodbye in the sunshine and to try not to pout too much about not heading north this evening as planned. Feel free to IM, I've got my IPod.
