May. 22nd, 2006 11:23 pmI'm trying to update a bit more often. It's all part of my devilishly cunning plan to overcome my terror of putting thoughts and ideas into word form.
On today's agenda we've got a reading run-down. Here's what I'm reading/have read recently:
Jeeves and the Tie That Binds, P.G. Wodehouse - I've read a great many of Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster stories, but this is my first time reading one of the novels. Quite good fun, just like all the rest, and a very quick read (half on the flight to Tampa/St. Pete on Friday, the other half on the flight back on Sunday).
The Lion in the Valley, Elizabeth Peters - This is one of the Amelia Peabody mysteries, a series of frothy, tongue-in-cheek mystery/romances I devoured at the tender ages of 12-15 or so. Still fun, still frothy, still always tongue-in-cheek. The series wound up going in directions I didn't care for later on, but the Peabody-Emersons will always have a place in my heart.
The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents, Terry Pratchett - Rereading this one because Doug just finished it, and he had to go and leave it lying around where I could pick it up. Talking rats and a talking cat in the Discworld; of course I can't help it.
Starting on that does put off my plans to pick up The Time Traveler's Wife, especially since Doug's now rereading Catch-22. I'll almost inevitably be rereading that next week. Then again, that'd be four rereads in a row (not of that book, but of books in general), and my to-be-read list is far too long for that. So maybe a trip to Barnes & Noble is in order after all.
