Just be careful. Giggling aloud in public may get you tarred a weirdo .

And it was good, but the names do get wearing. Even after seven volumes I'm still not used to them. Still, I'm looking forward to the next one, even if I probably won't get to read it until sometime in 2015, or even 2016.

Those were two of my favorite Heinlein books when I was young. I think I will have to read them again since I was in my twenties the last time I read them.

I'm reading the latest Crown of Slaves spinoff in the Honor Harrington series, Cauldron of Ghosts. These are "co-written" by Eric Flint and David Weber, but from the tightness of most of the writing, it's pretty clear who wrote which sections. As expected, I'm enjoying it a lot.

Next up when I finish this will likely be the Heinlein in this month's Baen Bundle - Waldo and Magic, Inc. I haven't read these since my teens, and that was a long, long time ago. Looking forward to it, though I do expect some things to be a bit dated.

Warning: Do not start this book if you have chores to perform over the weekend. If you ignore this warning and do that, you will be joining me in the doghouse.

Never say I'm not subject to peer pressure!

I saw the hardback version of The Martian in our local supermarket today on offer and picked it up. It's next on my TBR list after I finish the third book in Malcolm Mackay's Glasgow trilogy.

Although not a Harry Potter Fan and not a fanfiction fan I thought this was amazingly well done and funny.

Methinks we should consider a new thread to discuss it, given the number of concurrent readers. Actually, sounds like an idea for a new feature in MR - book club!
