Booklist

Finished reading the next Miles Vorkosigan book, The Warrior's Apprentice, last night. I'm truly impressed so far by this series' balance of humor and pathos. The characters are fleshed out very well, and the plot managed to surprise me a few times. I'm going to be smarter with this series than I was with the Warlock In Spite Of Himself books, and draw out my reading of them. I read so many of the Warlock series at once that I overdosed, and I haven't been able to pick up another in over a year.

On that note, I'm back to Steven Brust, after giving him a vacation, and have started on the Book of Athyra (I may or may not be spelling that right). I think I'll be all caught up on Vlad Taltos before I am with Miles Vorkosigan. That's okay, though. I've still got those loaned Mercedes Lackeys to read, and yubbie tells me that there's another Neal Stephenson coming soon.

Funny, I have a bunch of new Macintosh games as well as several half-finished PlayStation 2 games in the queue, but you still can't beat books for portability and ease of use.
