It's been how long since I made an update like this? Whoa! Okay. So because of the number of these, I'm not planning on linking to them anywhere. You can always right click on titles and use the context menu in your browser to look them up. With that caveat, here's what I've been reading… Continue reading Currently reading

Recently reading and read
In lieu of more detailed content, here's what I've been reading lately. I completed Bridget Jones's diary for a writing course I'm taking and thoroughly enjoyed it although I enjoyed the movie a bit more. Connected to Bridget Jones is, of course, Pride and Prejudice, a classic, which I had not read to that point.… Continue reading Recently reading and read
A quick update on writing and stuff
Writing Need to do a proof pass to see if my novelette is as error free as I can make it. Plan to do some outlining to expand on my short story as my experiment in scriptwriting. Practicing writing through fan fiction; another 400 words the other night. Reading Finished An Astronaut's Guide to Life… Continue reading A quick update on writing and stuff
GoodReads
Joined GoodReads and added a whack of books to my library. It's almost like a game. One author leads to another and friends' libraries remind me of more books I've read. Very good bit of design to make the user experience so easy and addictive.
Reading death. I mean dearth of reading.
Wow, what happened to my reading habit? I can blame Twitter, Facebook and video games. I just haven't set aside much time to sit down and read. I've even fallen off with the list I use to track what I'm reading. Time to get back on that.

Reading so far this year

I have a second daughter at home now and reading time has been shaved down even further as a result. If it doesn't grab me fast, I'm on to the next… Continue reading Reading so far this year
Moby Dicked
I've given up on reading Moby Dick. I made it at least three quarters thorugh and still no whale. There are huge blubbery lumps of exposition though. Chapters and chapters of them. Enough to make an old-time SF writer proud. In this case, I think the movie would be better. Now I just need to… Continue reading Moby Dicked
Books read in 2007 and 2008
I usually do this once a year and usually closer to the begining of the year, but I missed last year completely and am only getting to this year now. This list is only books I finished reading. 2008 A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens Eagle in the Snow, by Wallace Breem Identity Crisis, by… Continue reading Books read in 2007 and 2008
