I actually decided to read I Shall Wear Midnight by Terry Pratchett, since I just bought it at a good price (£2.48). Wonderful, as expected.

But then I did go on to The Two Faces of Tomorrow

Which was terrible. Info dumps, and also elaborate explanations of the (to the characters) mundane daily events, like taking an automated cab. Just not fun at all.

I decided to immediately try his other book on my TBR list: Echoes of an Alien Sky It had the errors of the other one, plus his loony science. Sigh. I find it hard to remember what I ever saw in his books.

Next up: Something that I'll really enjoy. Liaden Universe Constellation 3 by Lee and Miller
