No Comic Day

Because there's nothing that interests me. Nothing next week, either. So instead I'll do another Book Foo!

Finished: A For Anything, by Damon Knight
Started: Wild Cards, Vol 1, edited by George R. R. Martin (reread)

Thoughts on A for Anything (originally titled The People Maker) behind the cut. Some minor spoilers, mostly conceptual. Short version: Didn't really care for it.

I'll probably read the first 2 or 3 Wild Card books if I don't get anything new before then, but figure I'll stop before kinky sex takes over the whole series. ;)

Finished: The Guns of Avalon, by Roger Zelazny (reread)
Started: Sign of the Unicorn, by Roger Zelazny (reread)

Not really much to say since GoA is part 2 of a series. Didn't like it quite as much as the first part, but still held my interest and since I'm running low on new books I'll move on to book 3. We'll see from there if I continue.


Anyway, work was annoying... not too bad, but way late, so I wound up getting home at the same time as I would if I walked to get comics after work on a normal day (about a 3 hour detour).

Edited to Add: Oh, and it looks like it's official, David Tennant's leaving Doctor Who after the five specials this year. I wonder if this means the most recent rumor about his replacement is true (the most recent I heard was Paterson Joseph, who I remember best as the Marquis de Carabas in the miniseries version of Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere... I think he could be an interesting choice). It also occurs to me I made an icon of him in that role, so if you want to know who I'm talking about, it's the guy uncomfortably trying to comfort in this:

(okay, not the best icon, but it was one of my early ones)
