One of the things I spent the weekend doing was catching up on my book buying. Whether it is wise to be buying a whole lot of books here in the US when I may have to leave them all behind in a few months is questionable, but they are all books that I want to read and in any case they are all by good authors whose work I’d like to reward. So, currently on the reading pile (some of which are held over from my last visit) are:

• Liberation – Brian Francis Slattery
• An Evil Guest – Gene Wolfe
• All the Windwracked Stars – Elizabeth Bear
• Night Sessions – Ken McLeod
• Going Under – Justina Robson
• Lavinia – Ursula K. Le Guin
• Wit’s End – Karen Joy Fowler
• The Bell at Sealey Head – Patricia McKillip
• An Autumn War – Daniel Abraham
• In a Time of Treason – David Keck
• Anathem – Neal Stephenson

That lot should keep me busy for a while.
