Still poking into The Autistic Brain, and finding it fascinating. I always learn a lot from Ms. Grandin.

Also, still reading The Curse of the Pharaohs, an Amelia Peabody mystery from Elizabeth Peters, read excellently by Barbara Rosenblat. I haven't had much time to listen lately, so this is going slowly. But not for lack of interest or enjoyment.

Next up, Cauldron of Ghosts, the third book in the Crown of Slaves side-shoot of the Honor Harrington series. This was just released yesterday and was the anchor book for the April bundle.
Finished Cauldron of Ghosts. The writing in this side-series is way better than recent efforts from David Weber. There are still a few dead spots, which in some cases I know are his because they're copies of stuff he wrote in the mainline series. But the vast majority of the book is well written, and certainly exciting. I'd give it a solid 4.5 stars.

Next up? Not sure. I've got Waldo and Magic, Inc, or Outback Station, or a Miss Silver book, or the first of the God Stalker Chronicles, or the 3rd Harry Hole book from Jo Nesbo. Decisions, decisions...
