The next Pratchett (Making Money) is announced for autumn. How can I survive till then?

you may hold my hand tightly until then-- mind over matter- if the black ribboners can do what they do then we will survive this- plus we will keep ample amounts of hot sweet tea about(it's not called scubbo- that's the stew stuff is it sloopy? or am I loosing it?)

I'm reading the daily paper

Saloop...the tea.

Waiting on both the last Tiffany Aching and the most recent Harry Potter to pass into the realm of used, paperback or used paperback.

Reading ancient Len Deighton out of sheer boredom.

Isaac Asimov - I Robot

I envy you if you're reading it for the first time.  Wonder if reading it now resonates diiferently from reading it as a kid in the early 70s when people really thought AI and planetary colonisation was only a decade or two away.

That book on the Liberty ships will take a while.

Isaac Asimov - I Robot

The incredible part is that the guy wrote it in the 50s (in those days it was believed that Mercury's rotation was in sync with the sun as the moon is with Earth) and while AI is far off, and warp drives are as fiction as ever, his understanding of the future (or arguably, the past) is still amazing.

I am indeed reading it for the 1st time, although I've read the prelude to foundation and the trilogy (there are more books in the series and I am happy to say that now I have them all loaded in my reader  ).

[Alpaca]

The Fabric of the Cosmos, by Brian Greene. (Hooray for physics!)

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Re-reading the Harry Potter series, now that I've read the last one. (We need a ecstatically bouncing icon...)

Also reading the news on JPost, Washington Post, etc.

[Swatopluk]

As is my custom I read many books parallel (though not stereo).
Among the current batch is: the war of the World (N.Ferguson)
