Bookish thoughts
So last night I found myself totally uninterested in doing any gaming or watching TV shows/anime/movies. Instead I retired early to bed to read some more of the current eBook I was working my way through.
The Dragon Never Sleeps by Glen Cook is an interesting bit of SF. Drops you a bit into the deep end with a very different world and just expects you to work things out as you go along. It also has a tendency to continually use invented (and slightly jarring,) jargon through to the very end of the book. A minor peeve.
That aside, the early night to bed ended up ending just after midnight when I actually finished the book, so it's not at all a bad read, and if you like Cook's work then I really recommend it.
Next up, I recently obtained the complete run ot the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian. All 20 books of it. I've read one of the books before and loved it, so I'm sure I will enjoy this run through. Should keep me busy for a while.
I do find myself slightly affeared, however, that this shall effect a modicum of change upon the manner of both my thoughts and my speech. But then, all good books should, should they not?
