What I'm reading now
I started The Two of Them by Joanna Russ on the subway the other day. It's…not what I was expecting, though it's not like I had any expectations, precisely. I don't know. I've also been carrying Greer Gilman's Cloud and Ashes around with me, though I haven't read more than a few pages of it since I got it in…cripes, 2010.

What I just finished reading
The Jewel of the Kalderash by Marie Rutkoski. It's the third of The Kronos Chronicles series and probably the last one; I enjoyed it.

Also, a boatload of Yuletide. And my constant companion, XMFC fic.

What I'm reading next
Railsea. And then maybe Moby-Dick. Also Cloud and Ashes. I swear.

There was a great YT fic for Railsea. If/when you read the Mieville, be sure to check it out. (Both works made me want to rereqd Moby-Dick, actually! It's on my pile next.)

I'm about seventy pages into Railsea now. I'm mostly enjoying it, in the same way I enjoyed Kraken where as long as I ignore the way he's failing at the more sophisticated things he's trying, it's a fun adventure. It is not very good so far as Moby Dick parody/pastiche. And definitely read Moby Dick, it's wonderful.

Railsea was the book I enjoyed most last year; also Moby-Dick is awesome.

I copy-edited Cloud & Ashes, so let me know if you have any questions.
