I like almost all of his work, honestly. Tress is completely different than his "normal" stuff, but it's a lovely piece. I absolutely recommend it.

If you want to try one of his series, I recommend starting at the beginning of the Mistborn series with "The Final Empire." Alternatively, start the Stormlight series with "The Way of Kings." Both excellent.

But read Tress regardless.

Thanks!

For those, like me, who haven't read Gideon The Ninth, the Kindle version is on sale for $1.99.

I went to Savers today to drop some stuff off, but of course I had to shop with the coupon they gave me. I found the first five Spiderwick Chronicles for ltc in hardcover.

I finally got around to listening to Hugh Laurie reading Three Men in a Boat, and then realized it was very abridged so I found an e-book copy and read that and now am listening to Willis’s To Say Nothing of the Dog. I thing I’m going to revisit the whole Oxford Tome Travel series. I pretty much read them as they came out, so big gaps in between, and while they are pretty memorable I suspect a binge would be rewarding.

I feel I need to read three men in a boat sometime to really get To Say Nothing of the Dog, though I’ve enjoyed it without having ever done that. Maybe the cliff notes.

Three Men in a Boat is a quick read and pretty amusing. I do wonder how someone ends up being named Jerome K Jerome. That’s slightly more boggling than William Carlos Williams, even.

Catch-22 features a character named Major Major Major Major and only the first one is his military rank.

It also mentions how that happened!

Don't know if this qualifies as "literary," but there's a book on sale called Girly Drinks. It's about women and booze - making it, drinking it, etc.
