I haven't finished much this week:
What are you reading now?
Liars and Outliers, by Bruce Schneier (it's going slowly)
Some of the Best from Tor.com: 2012, collection edited by Elizabeth Bear
What did you read recently?
Cranford, by Elizabeth Gaskell, which I quite liked, largely for the narrative voice. If someone had described this book to me I would have expected not to. Fortunately, the person who talked about it was
papersky, and one of the things she said was that when she'd gone to sleep rereading it, and woke up in the morning she wondered what she'd been reading, she remembered and the thought made her happy.
About a third of Hallucinations, by Oliver Sacks, which for some reason didn't grab me (I've enjoyed several of his previous books) until I was on the subway on my way to return it, already overdue.
Also a bunch of documentation/training stuff for a freelance project, which somehow feels more relevant than the usual stack of web sites.
What are you going to read next?
At this rate, probably more of the Schneier book, the rest of the Tor.com anthology, and more documentation about this content management system. Maybe something random from Project Gutenberg, that being a lot of what's on my kindle.
