Half-way through Theodore Rex.



No, wait, that's not right.



There we go.

It's kind of great, but it's losing my attention lately. Might put it down in favor of something else for a week or two before I read the other half.

Waiting anxiously for the first volume of The Story of the Stone/Dream of the Red Chamber

Has anyone read the four Chinese classics and could tell me broadly what to expect from each? Not sure which one should have the priority...

the second book in the  Crown Colonies series by Michael Stackpole.
This man is one of my favorite writers out there, both his sci-fi and fantasy grip me like no one else.
Life is one time.
