What have you been reading today? Everything counts, from a novel-length fic to the labels on your washing!

Bits of the latest Nature and lots of children's books, including some new ones at the library. As usual, not much else because weekends are full on with child care.

I keep forgetting to open these posts in tabs and come back to them when I have read a thing. So I will comment here for yesterday: I finished reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. I'll give her method a shot...probably Saturday, maybe later today. Testing it on the clothes before going on to any other category of item.

The KonMari Method is basically "Does it spark joy?" If not, bye. Though one does observe that a strict application of that rule would send my work slacks into the Goodwill pile, and I kinda need my work slacks in order to be appropriately dressed on work days on which for reasons I do not want to wear a skirt.

Today was Avengers: Age of Ultron day (squeeeee), so what little reading there was consisted of emails, texts, and Twitter.

Pratchett's The 5th Elephant. I hadn't planned to read it in its entirety, and I had a snooze for several hours in the middle, but ultimately essentially read in (sort of) one sitting. Started out on the patio with lunch and a glass of wine, moved indoors to the couch later, dozed off for an indeterminate period, then picked it straight back up again when I woke up.

About half a dozen articles in the Grauniad explaining why the Tories are screwed (cheering, but play to your audience a bit more, why don't you?), bits of code and documentation for a couple of dsPIC Forths, and a lot of "reviews" of the DSO Nano pocket oscilloscope that all amount to "don't buy it, it's a piece of crap, if you aren't looking at at least a [scope an order of magnitude more expensive] you might as well get out of electronics". Which is disheartening :(
