I read for fun, not to be depressed.)

Harry Potter was fun but I have given up on
The Grapes of Wrath, just can't force myself to read something I have zero interest in.
I read
Equoid by Charles Stross over the last couple days which is an interesting take on unicorns in the Laundry Files universe. It won a Hugo this year too. If you aren't familiar with the Laundry Files, I would probably skip it, until you have read the first 2-3 in the series, but if you are it is a pretty good read.
Next up is Harry Potter 2,
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Should be fun but I will need to take a break after this in order to get ahead of my "something other than fantasy" goal.
