'Touched'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Finished Three Body Problem -- thumbs up. I will probably get the next one, too. For whatever reason, I thought the author was a woman until I saw his picture at the very end. Random facts.
I started in on The Crying of Lot 49, but I don't have the fortitude to pay attention to that right now. It may also just not be my thing.
Now I've cracked open the one with Stairs in the title. City of Stairs? That's feeling more my speed right now. I didn't feel like going back to Fifth Business just yet.
I really liked the City of Stairs and its sequels. For some reason it felt very post-WWII for me. Lots of espionage and geopolitical upheaval in the aftermath of war.
I read The Crying of Lot 49 for my freshman rhetoric class and loooooved it. It was the first book that was that kind of weird that I had come across, and for a class, blew my mind. Reading Pynchon tends to make me paranoid, though. I've had Against the Day in my TBR for almost a decade but it's still daunting and there are so many other books...
For example: New KJ Charles is out and thanks to the magic of pre-ordering is already on my phone, but can I ignore work and spend all day reading it as would clearly be best for everyone? No, I cannot.
I am only partway into The Change but I am really liking it so far. Thanks for mentioning it, Amy and Dana!
I liked The Raven Scholar a whole lot and am very glad that it's the first in a series because I want to learn everything about this world

I just won an auction to be part of a virtual kaffeeklatsch session with Lois McMaster Bujold!
Susan, so cool!!!
Awesome, Susan!
Very cool! Enjoy.
Neat!
I seem to be in an audio book phase even though I have a stack of library books, with two strated. Sometimes, it just plays out that way.
I finished listening to a freebie from Audible called Dragon Day, which is told à la World War Z -- it was a dramatization, but since it was really just a series of interviews, it actually worked well. Very enjoyable.
Then they suggested a book from the Arkham horror series (which I hadn't heard of), and I am a huge sucker, so... did some research and the one they suggested seemed good and was on sale, so... now I'm listening to that.
Anyone read any of those? Thoughts?
Also -- Susan, when and where is your thing happening?
