reading (catching up)
Jun. 21st, 2009 09:22 pmYou can tell I've been really busy with other things because since May I've only got two books to list on the reading list. I think there was something else that I read before "The Secret Adversary", but I can't remember what it was, so it doesn't make the list
I read Agatha Christie's "The Secret Adversary" on the ebook during the time of moving. I enjoyed the style of the book and the plot. I thought it read more like a Wodehouse story than a Christie. I like that when people got out of tight spots, there was always a reason, not just luck.
31. Agatha Christie "The Secret Adversary"
I read this month's Asimov's in one rainy day at the foot of Katahdin. I liked the language of "Blue", there were some great turns of phrase in that. "Two Boys" was an interesting take on the Neanderthal theme. I found "The Qualia Engine" to be one of those stories where you have to think back over the evidence after you reach the end. "California Burning" was trippy and fittingly weird, but the weird went on a bit too long for me.
32. Asimov's August 2009
