I've been working my way through a re-read of the Honor Harrington books from David Weber. All was going well until I hit Ashes of Victory (#9). Now we're getting to where he seems to have been unable to use one word when 8 would do worse. Sigh. This basically means if I'm going to continue that I'll need to stop listening to them. At least when I read them I can just skip over the long, tedious, boring sequences about acceleration rates or the lengthy political discussions of the Havenites. Really, I like these books but they would be SO much better with a bit of editing!
