Between Silk and Cyanide Redux

2007-03-19 02:17:00

I've just finished Between Silk and Cyanide, after much procrastination, and I maintain my high opinion of it. The end of the book wasn't completely satisfying, but this I can forgive, since the book recounts true events, and life isn't always completely satisfying.

I've still got a stack of books yet to read, so I suppose I'd better get started on those before I've got to return them. Additionally, I've got a copy of Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny. MarkCC (of Good Math, Bad Math) recommended it, among others, and since I agreed with most of his comments for the books that I had read, I thought it'd be as good a place as any to get recommendations.

I also would like to get a copy of Witch World by Andre Norton some time soon. I'm sure I've read at least one book by Andre Norton (although I can't recall which, just now), and I'd like to read the Witch World series since I hear that it's quite good. Actually, I believe that I have a few of her books in my library at home; I'll have to check into it and see.

Finally, and totally unrelated, I've begun playing MapleStory in my spare time. It's a nice, free 2D action MMORPG. I really ought to be doing more worthwhile things than playing games, but I fear that I'm not terribly industrious at the best of times. It's a week until spring break, so this is far from the best of times for my industry.
