So I'm reading Tanya Huff's The Heart of Valor. Military sf (yes, I like military sf -- now you know.) There's a major who was basically rebuilt from a brain and a spine, and the standard joke among the grunts is, "Well, at least you know one officer who actually has a brain."
I snort, thinking, "Hah. Sounds like something sksperry jokes about."
Keep reading, see it a couple more times. The more I read, the more I think, "Gee, Steve might like this book." *headdesk* Wasn't until page 85 that I'm going, "Waaaaaait a minute. Tanya and Steve know one another..." and turn to the dedication.
I should have known. Sheesh, I'm slow.

In other news, I had a nice visit with msisolak where we had a lovely lunch in the sunshine amongst flowers and fountains and she told me which book I had to snap into shape.
Don't mess with those who teach kinders, I tell you. I learned a new word: meek. *attempts to look innocent*
Hah - we'll see how that goes...
