On the good side, however, I managed to wait my turn at the Library for Ann Leckie's new book, so I guess that's some progress.

Ann Leckie is an auto-buy for me. She isn't high literature, but she is the best kind of space opera. My only constraint there is that I make myself finish whatever I am reading before I buy a new one.
