Yet More Reading. Yet More Watching.

READING

I'll keep this brief... There are a few early gaps in my Ian McDonald library and I've been plugging them with ebooks. The latest is Scissors Cut Paper Wrap Stone, which contains Buddhism, Shinto and human programming. Really liking it so far, but still... still... the one I really yearn for is Luna, which Ian read from at TitanCon last

What else is important in life other than media consumption?

Oh, cake! You must be talking about cake. Yeah, cake is great.

Or tomato plants? I thought you'd have guessed that one...

I just googled Tomato Cake and... OK, I'm not going to lie, they looked horrifying. I'm not sure which was worse, the cakes that contained tomatoes as an ingredient that clearly will taste awful, or the creepy grinning anthropomorphic fondant icing tomatoes. I am going to have nightmares.

I think the most frightening thing is that you immediately googled tomato cake...

I hadn't even heard of that McDonald book, he does always seem to have written more than I realise.

I bought his "King of Morning, Queen of Day" recently (at Archipelicon), not read it yet. I think I remember him describing it at a previous TitanCon as being Urban Fantasy before the term was invented.

[peadarog]

Yeah, he's been bringing them out at a steady pace for years...

You're not reading for the Hugos?

[peadarog]

I've done all that for now. I had read the main three novels before voting even started...

Ah. Cool.
