Books Read, October-November 2011
Dec. 8th, 2011 09:48 pmBack up to a normal reading speed--I should start doing these monthly again.
( A Dance With Dragons--mild spoilers, and general statements about the series that will come as no surprise to anyone who's actually read Martin ever )
( All Men of Genius by Lev Rosen--no spoilers )
I don't normally mention beta-reads here, because it's not like they're available for everyone else to read. But I feel I can safely predict that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gaudior's as-yet-untitled first novel will be available for the rest of you to read at some point. At which point, you should read it.
( Cradle to Cradle by Bill McDonough and Michael Braungart--nonfiction )
( 1493 by Charles Mann--nonfiction )
( The Tempering of Men by Elizabeth Bear and Sarah Monette--no spoilers )
( The Wooden Star by William Tenn--no spoilers )
( The Zanzibar Cat by Joanna Russ--mild spoilers for "When It Changed" )
( Fostering Sustainable Behavior by Doug McKenzie-Mohr & William Smith )
( A Shadow in Summer by Daniel Abraham--slightly vague spoilers )
The Graveyard Book, by Neil Gaiman. Comfort reread. Gaimans that I have read and loved many times are never going to disappoint me.
( The Logic of Failure by Dietrich Dorner--nonfiction )
( A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge--no spoilers except for a description of one awesome alien species )
Other media Consumed:
( Shadow Unit and assorted podcasts )
Total Books: 13
Recent Publication: 4/13
Rereads: 1/13
Recommendations: Someone on Tor.com recommended All Men of Genius. My boss recommended Cradle to Cradle. Bothpapersky and rushthatspeaks recommended A Shadow in Summer; sorry, guys. papersky also recommended A Fire Upon the Deep; thank you! My old boss lent me The Logic of Failure about six years ago, but this is my own copy because I didn't get to it until now. Which says more about my old job than the book, really.
New Music: none
New Media Produced: More on both the Aphra Marsh story and The Jester's Child. A couple of papers for work, which actually seem to be having some effect.
