It's been going pretty slow and I've sort of lost track of what's going on...
I never did finish this book. I think I got about two thirds of the way through and just ran out of steam. There’s an awful lot of opaque Bene Gesserit shenanigans.
I'm two thirds of the way through the book now and it seems like something is finally about to happen....

I just read Totto-chan The Little Girl at the Window by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, based on a recommendation from a friend who loved it as a young girl. It's a wonderful little book, autobiographical of the authors' experiences at a little school in Japan during World War 2. Goes from laugh out loud funny in one chapter to heartbreaking in the next, and it's all a testament to the curiosity, uniqueness and goodness of children that is often lost within the framework of rigid education structures.

I think he’s an old man in Heretics and a young ghola in Chapterhouse, but I may be confusing him with someone else. Was he the super general with the super speed?

That’s what I feared. Thanks.
Is it true the book never tells you who Sid and Marty are or what they are doing?

I'm currently giving three body problem a second read, because I was frankly a bit overwhelmed the first time around, especially in regards to the characters and their interrelations. Loving it still so far, as it seems to have been constructed by a meticulous mind.

I've been reading my self-published book, The Angaran Chronicles: The Underside, on and off and while it's not bad. There are a frig-ton of missing words and, at times, sentences. I'm not terribly happy as I paid an editor a pretty penny to edit it (a very pretty penny as she was American, and that made me pay double in NZ monies). So I don't know If I'll have her edit the 2nd novel if/when I finally get around to writing it. Had some of the worst writer's block I've had in a long time with that book.

"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?

2000AD time again!
First up, Armoured Gideon. One of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic’s weirder strips, and a character I’m only aware of from a much modern repurposing.

I started reading the Merkabah Rider short stories. They’re about what I’d expect of an urban fantasy western about a Kabbalahist. However, I’ve been spending less and less time reading it to make more time for…
Art Deco LA Landmarks and Deco New York. We recent went on an architectural tour of downtown LA, and I fell in love with the turn-of-the-century through WW2 buildings, especially the Art Deco, Victorian, Beaux-Arts and Gothic Revival designs. Made me want to bust out the Dropzone Commander buildings and add some little gargoyles, chevrons and gingerbread.

Shogun. I am at chapter 20 now. After watching new tv show and rewatching the old one I wanted to know all the differences between them and the original source so the book had to be next.
