Two books completed:

"Tomb of the Golden Bird", by Elizabeth Peters. The 18th and penultimate book in the "Amelia Peabody" series of Egyptological mysteries. This book tells the story of the events surrounding the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun, with the (unreported!) aid of the Emerson family. Great fun, and I'll be sad to finish this series - it's an old friend.

"Wizardry Compiled" by Rick Cook, originally bought from Baen in 2001. When Cupertino programmer William Irving Zumwalt, "Wiz" to his friends, was brought to another world and used his programming skills to become a great wizard (as told in "Wizard's Bane") he thought his troubles were over, but he's made some powerful enemies who are out to kill him. Excellent fantasy, particularly if one understands the computer programming jokes! Recommended.
