Abbreviated Wednesday Reading

[violsva]

Books in Progress:

Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch - nearly done, which is good because the library wants it back soon
You Look Like a Thing and I Love You: How Artificial Intelligence Works and Why It's Making the World a Weirder Place by Janelle C. Shane - in hard copy, because I seem to do well with a fun science book ongoing at home
The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite - read half of it, library took it back, and now my hold's come back in again and I have to get back into the world again...
Eleventh Hour by elin gregory - ...when all I want to do is keep reading this, but this oddly doesn't have a waiting list so I can keep it out for longer
Wizard Spawn by Nancy Asire and C. J. Cherryh - in hard copy, and Libby means that I'm not limited to just whatever I have in my purse, so this is going pretty slowly
And they were roommates... by harriet_vane - I know nothing about Cdramas, but there were cute lesbians, so
House of M by Brian Michael Bendis et al. - but really I should just admit I'm not going to finish this and give it back to the library
Foundations of Programming Using C by Evan Weaver

The Toronto Public Library does not seem to have a circulating copy of the Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon, which is frustrating. And surprising. I mean, I'm sure there's a Victorian translation available online, but ... Victorian translation.

Last year only 7% of the books/longfic I read were rereads, which is possibly the lowest ever, and that seems surprisingly likely to continue.

Both Because Internet and the AI book look awesome. I'm also delighted to see CJ Cherryh here -- I love a lot of her work! Have you read anything else by her?
