• What are you reading?

Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. For SF bookgroup. I read this when it came out. I am delighted to find that it is still fresh, and funny. It is interesting to compare his idea of what cyberspace might be like with the cyberspace in this timeline. Often silly, but not stupid.

• What did you recently finish reading?

Queenpin, by Megan Abbott. I thought a noir novel with female main characters and male traps/prizes would be different in an interesting way. It wasn't.

• What do you think you’ll read next?

I should get back to Cuckoo's Calling.

Ah, Snow Crash. I love the rat thing.

He was such a good dog.

"This timeline" makes me relax in a nice way. No need to fret, it's just one of many possible unravelings.

Hello! I received an email notification that you've added me to your reading and access lists. I have a crap memory for names, so if we've met (at wiscon I'm guessing from our mutual friends) or know each other on other social media, could you please remind me?

Thanks!
