In answer to an inquiry in comments to another post, the current status of #134 is as follows. I have finished writing it. It needs to be proof-read, and I need to turn it into HTML. Hopefully it will be online this week, though I confess to giving priority to other aspects of my life. I’m also a little hampered by the fact that both my laptops have been hammering away running economic models all weekend – a task that should have been done by the dead desktop.

The books I’m covering in #134 are as follows:
Soldier of Sidon – Gene Wolfe
Trial of Flowers – Jay Lake
Ladies of Grace Adieu – Susanna Clarke
The Other End – John Shirley
The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana – Umberto Eco
Seven Touches of Music – Zoran Zivkovic
House of Leaves – Mark Z. Danielewski
The Stone Ship – Peter Raftos
The Carpet Makers – Andreas Eschbach
Keeping It Real – Justina Robson
Vicious Circle – Mike Carey
H.P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life – Michel Houellebecq

I’ve also got two reviews by Peter Wong:
The Host (movie) by Bong Joon-ho
Finder: Five Crazy Women (graphic novel) by Carla Speed McNeil
