Some bookage.
Dear LJ, you know what I really want? It isn't connections to other social networks that your user base is either too old-fashioned to care about or is deliberately avoiding by being over here on stodgy old LJ. No. What I want is reliable comment notifications. That's all. I'll accept those in lieu of v-gifts, Facebook share this links, and migration to Vox. [NB: timely joke.]
I'm over here answering comments that I somehow totally missed. Hrrmph.
Random reading: There is new Iain M. Banks on the way. I have such mixed feelings about him. I am madly fanatic about some of his books and at the same time really worn down by, er, his protagonists's general failures to get anywhere near their aims. "Really cool alien technology rocks fall; everyone dies" summarizes too many of his endings. I'll probably read this anyway.
There is also new Connie Willis incoming.
