What I’ve Just Finished Reading
The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu
It's available for free online
here. A really affecting story. What made it for me where the small details, like the water buffalo wanting to wallow and jumping into the soy sauce.
What I’m Reading Now
The Lost World by Arthur Conan Doyle
I really like Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, so I picked this up at a book flea market. I'm not very far in yet. I'm currently at the point where professor Challenger invites the protagonist back into his house after having bodily thrown him out a moment before. He's certainly a memorable character. I loved the interaction with his wife.
What I Plan to Read Next
Probably This Census-Taker by China Mieville since it needs to go back to the library soon.
