So when you're already stressed out about something, listening to a guy calmly describe being assaulted in a psychiatric hospital doesn't help your state of mind. So I switched to The Weekly Planet podcast...

The percentage is a lie because I skipped ahead and read chapter 3 (about Anarchism at work).
I have an all-day meeting tomorrow (well today actually, holy shit it's 1am!) that is probably going to cause me to quit and I'm really not looking forward to it... But at least it's encouraging to read and have it reinforced that hating ones job isn't a moral failing.

Recommended to be explicitly by my wife, and implicitly by the workmate who put it into the work book share.
For some reason I thought, you know what? Imma listen to this one. No real reason why, it just seemed like a fun idea.

I'm not sure of they took turns writing the books, but this one is a completely different tone and... not nearly as good...
A lot of that is because of Fiznab though. Completely insufferable.

Will the Sartan manage to stop the nefarious Patryn before he can complete his evil schemes? I... don't really remember. The dog is his conscience or something?

Just like Marx, I don't think I can get much out of this reading it on the tram...

I probably won't finish this before picking up something else, but I need a quick break from YA Fantasy nonsense.
Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms--sky, stone, fire, and …
Feels like a lot of setup. Tonnaly it's a bit all over the place.
I remember thinking as a teen that this felt like a more adult book. But I gotta say, it's YA through and through.

Not hating it so far. I have only vague recollections of the story though.
However, we get it, Alfred is clumsy, you don't have to labour the point literally every time he does something...

Let's go! Hugh-the-Hand gonna rock this band!
Three-Chop-Nick plays a mean lick.
Haplo... is just kinda annoying if I remember correctly, not up to the bit where he turns up yet.

Up there with the best Culture books. So glad I found this now so there was still something new to read.

First of a Seven book series that I read as a teen, and loved them. But if my other nostalgia reads are any thing to go by I am going to be incredibly disappointed.
However, I am hoping there is a bit more meat to them that I would have completely missed when I was 15... We'll see.
The time is the Beginning. The place is Heaven. The story is the Revolt of the Angels—a war of magic, …

It's very much a “Banks” book, but still distinct from the Culture.
Liking it so far.
