Weekend reading roundup

What did you read this weekend? If you planned on anything specifically, did you read it? (Reminder link to intended weekend reading post)

I got about halfway through Cyberpunk: Malaysia, edited by Zen Cho! I enjoyed the stories "One Hundred Years: Machine" and "What the Andromaid Reads at Night" particularly, and thought they made a nice pairing by showing the pitfalls of authoritarianism at the opposite ends of the faith spectrum (religious fundamentalism v militant atheism).

Oh, now that sounds interesting!

It is! I recommend it. Read a few more in the bath and I'm pretty certain I'm going to have weird dystopian dreams tonight...

Got partway through Point of Hopes, the first of the City of Astreiant books, as planned. Also, of course, Twitter and associated links, a couple fics, emails and such.

Yay, well done!

I mostly stayed off the internet this weekend (through tiredness) so am playing catchup with all the social networks...

Finished revising 'VHF radio', got started on 'Day Skipper', got distracted when I got to the knots section and went off to find something to practise with :)

But did buy Gaiman's 'The Ocean at the end of the Lane' and a first novel called 'The Invisible Library' for holiday reading (99p each on Kindle for the win!)

Huzzah for eagerly anticipated holiday reading! Hope they keep you amused.
