Finished up Elizabeth Bear's Karen Memory. Great book! But only if you like steampunky, western-themed stories filled with adventure, friendship and derring-do. That's right. There was derring-do.

My only beef was that it took me a bit to get past the first-person narrator's fictional (but clearly purposeful--if occasionally inconsistent) grammatically incorrect use of "would of," "could of," "might of," etc... throughout her tale. I understand why it was done, but that didn't stop it from being quite distracting until I succeeded (somewhat) in tuning it out. But I'm sure that's just me (I blame my H.S. English teachers). Read the book!

Currently taking a short trip to Absaroka County Wyoming.
