I finished Bradbury's Death Is A Lonely Business. It's not as good as A Graveyard for Lunatics. The fictionalized young Bradbury can be annoying sometimes.

I'm interrupting the Bradbury read for Connie Willis' All Clear, the conclusion to Blackout, which was released earlier in the year. Blackout was one of my favorite books this year, so I'm looking forward to it. For those unfamiliar with the book, it takes place in Willis' near-future world of time traveling Oxford historians that was introduced in Fire Watch and continued in The Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog. This time, like Fire Watch, they are in England during the Blitz.

The novelette Fire Watch can be read here for free:

You can watch a 2007 interview of Willis by librarian Nancy Pearl (Book Lust) here:
