starladyWhat I'm reading
Well, I have Mary Gentle's Carthage Ascendant literally lying at my right hand, and I just bought Michelle West's Battle and Hiromi Goto's Darkest Light, and the sequester flight delays being what they are, probably 2/3 of these will be read by the time I get back home to Berkeley (whenever that may be).
What I just read
The Queer Art of Failure by Judith Halberstam and Brain Plague by Joan Slonczewski. Both excellent, fascinating, thought-provoking books. That more people haven't read Slonczewski is as clear an example as any of the impoverishment that systematic bias and oppression force on our intellectual and cultural life.
What I'll read next
See above. I also bought Unnatural Creatures, because I mostly hate Neil Gaiman at this point but he is a damn fine editor.
