So many books, so little time
I just finished a book.

Those who know me do not find this odd. But it made me think to myself, "Self, what should I read next?", to which myself replied "What? It's not like you aren't already in the middle of several!"

On the window sill at the apartment, I just closed the cover on Niven's Juggler of Worlds. Unless you've read a lot of Known Space, I can't recommend it. It's #2 in the new series, and basically fills in the holes between the Beowulf Schaeffer/ARM stories. I think it had a plot beyond that. Maybe.

In the bathroom at the house, I'm in the middle of a dogeared romance, Anne McCaffery's Three Women. WWI era damsels in distress, without being bodice-rippers.

On the table sits How to Ditch your Fairy by Justine Larbalestier, which is a YA/SciFi - so far okay.

On the phone in Mobipocket, I've got the Belisarius going on - I think I'm in book 2. It's an alternative history of a roman general battling a cyborg from the future . . okay, it's less hokey then it sounds.

On the phone in E-Reader, Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything, which is a great science book for picking up and reading any random section.

At my desk, I'm a couple chapters into Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns, which everyone has told me to read, and my coworker passed on to me last month.

Queued up and recieved from the library are
Dirt: The Ecastic Skin of the Earth by Logan
Brain Rules by Medina
Oak: The Frame of Civilization by Logan

And I've picked up the latest Pratchett: Nation - which is lower on the list only because I have a lot of library books to read & return.

Yes, I can keep all these plots straight in my head.
