I'm going to spend this evening luxuriously reading DW and LJ circle/friend pages and catching up with Twitter and FB. Over the weekend, when I'm in the bath, I hope to nibble on The Sixth Extinction and Cyberpunk: Malaysia.

I will attempt to read all of tumblr. I will fail in this attempt, but I will have made much progress before I give up.

[nanila]

Good luck, O brave internet explorer!

[weaverbird]

Twitter, LJ, DW, etc. Plus more of Point of Hopes and Dune.

[nanila]

I hope it was all enjoyable!

[alexseanchai]

As much Harry Potter as I can. I have a fic idea that I need to canon review for.

I am not going to be reading much, though, on account of sister's wedding is tomorrow.

[nanila]

Hope the fic review, if it happened, went well.

[alexseanchai]

It did not. Sister's wedding ate all the energy. Maybe today.

Just started my approximately decennial reread of Calvocoressi, Wint and Pritchard. Loving Peter Calvocoressi's incisive academic just ever so slightly snarkiness.

[nanila]

The quote you posted in your journal was pretty scathing!

[dhampyresa]

Some of Ghosts of Cannae, Trickster Makes this World and Rome's Revolution.

If I'm feeling particularly daring, I will also read from Le jardin des silences and Beyond Cannae.

If a miracle happens, I will read those PDFs.

[fred_mouse]

Maybe we could ask for a joint miracle, and I can get one (or more, the giddy thought) of my PDFs read as well.

[dhampyresa]

No miracle on my end. You?

[fred_mouse]

nope. Started a reread on a Pratchett novel that one of my kids left on the coffee table instead.

[dhampyresa]

Pratchett is also good.

[fred_mouse]

yes. unfortunately, child in question appears to have tidied up the book, and it must have been a library one. Now I have to source a copy, to find out what happens! (Reaper Man, which apparently I haven't read, or did so so long ago that I don't remember anything about it).

[dhampyresa]

Reaper Man was my first Discworld book! I love it so, so much.

[fred_mouse]

I'm enjoying it. But the Tiffany Aching books are possibly my favourites. Or some of the later 'what can I parody today'. Or Monstrous Regiment. ... I'm not good at favourites!

[nanila]

Even though the PDF miracle didn't happen, I hope you enjoyed your weekend reading.

[dhampyresa]

Thank you. Didn't read a lot, unfortunately.

[fred_mouse]

Eva Luna, by some author whose name should not have escaped me.

[nanila]

Huzzah! Hope it was a pleasant read, if it happened.

[fred_mouse]

a couple of pages read. The next little bit is going to be hard going.

Author is Isabel Allende.
