Finished re-reading The Diamond Age on the iLiad, then had to read Freud's Civilization and its Discontents and Said's Freud and the Non-European in paper, as no ebooks were available. Then read Patricia Briggs Dragon Bones, again in paper, because the friend who loaned it to me doesn't have ebooks. It was ok, but not good enough to get me to buy the rest as ebooks, so I'll probably borrow the next in paper. (I liked her Mercy Thompson books better, and I have bought some as ebooks.)

Not as much time for "fun" reading these days, as I've been spending far too much time learning about 3D modeling.

I spent much of last week visiting my brother, in what I came to call The Land of Slow Internet. I finished The Diamond Age while there and was very glad to have my iLiad so I could pick something else to read in the evenings. (I almost ended up loaning my iLiad to my mother, who was visiting at the same time, because it looked as though she was going to finish the only book she'd brought.) I wanted to re-read H. Beam Piper's Fuzzy Sapiens the other evening, but couldn't find my copy on the iLiad. Must have gotten lost in one of my file reorganizations. I have it somewhere, so I'll need to reload it. I'm also sort of in the middle of re-reading Stroud's The Golem's Eye.
