I had recently instituted a new law: 10PM I'm off the PC and the TV is off. Time to read. Sometimes that will last until eleven, sometimes 1AM. I've ignored my own law the last couple days though. This is being posted at 12:11AM and the TV is on as well. When I don't have to be anywhere too...
Yeah it was a good month. I made up for what I lacked in quantity with quality. As did you I see. Some time this year I'm gonna do a re-read of Crime and Punishment. Probably in November, celebrate Fyodor's birthday. ;)

1. Great Expectations by Dickens. Was started before April.
2. Oracle Night by Paul Auster.
3. *Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson.
4. A Game of Thrones by Georege R.R. Martin.

I haven't read The Shadow of the Apocolypse, nor am I likely to. It looks like just another poke holes in an imperfect religion type book.
Michel Houellebecq seems to piss off people. Like Rushdie I believe he's had a fatwah placed on his life.
Any writer that uses the term "whack" is well, whack. Also, writers that use pen names, writers that publish works by others in their name - the ones with teams of writers working for them. R.A. Salvatore for example.
