A week off work and a road trip gave me the opportunity to finish a few books that were in progress and to read a few shorter works.
I enjoyed both audiobooks I finished. Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers was very good and the narration by Susan Sarandon was outstanding. Into Africa: The Epic Adventures of Stanley and Livingstone by Martin Dugard was also good and well narrated.
I also listened to Nemesis by Isaac Asimov. I was second tier Asimov but it kept my interest.Also
I read the third novella in the Murderbot series, Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells. As I said before I love Murderbot.
I also read Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson, a pretty good novel from 1961 best known for inspiring the Law/Chaos orientations in D&D.
And The Stones of Muncaster Cathedral: Two Stories of the Supernatural by Robert Westall. These were two short stories or perhaps novellas in a more modern M.R. James style. Excellent horror.
I listened to The Weapon Shop by A.E. van Vogt. It's an excellent short story in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, especially compared to the mediocre expansion into a novel.
