I said I would begin reading Charlie Stross' Accelerando, but turns out his high octane, barroque language alluding to far too much hitech concepts and jargon (and right on the money for the theme, btw) has to be taken slowly, lest you turn into a singularity too...
So, in between I finished reading Poe's "The murders in the Rue Morgue". Could't help but reading the original source for Sherlock Holmes after finishing his first novel. Very close in all aspects, no doubt, though I believe detetive novels are best serviced indeed from clean narration of Doyle than romantic flourish from Poe. The ignorance about the crime perpetrator also comes as quite laughable today, like it being "imense" and possessing supernatural force. I can see why people would believe in unicorns back then from descriptions alone of foreign stuff...
Btw, Feedbooks' cover for this ebook is the lamest ever, giving away the solution for the mistery in a single image. Dumb. I suggest reading from gutenberg.
Possibly I'll be reading more Dupin's adventures since I need more pages to get a whole book for my counter...
I also started "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz". In case you're wondering: no, I haven't read them in high school because I'm not american...
