jazzfish: Jazz Fish: beret, sunglasses, saxophone (Default)
What are you currently reading?

I've finally gotten into Studs Terkel's Hope Dies Last, a gift from my aunt Susan a decade ago. I'm also carting around the RPG Nova Praxis, a FATE-based post-singularity RPG, in the hopes that its version of FATE will finally click for me.

What did you recently finish reading?

Pat Cadigan's Synners, a 1991 cyberpunk novel that feels like it exists at the intersection of Neuromancer, City Come A-Walkin', and The Fortunate Fall.

Samuel R. Delany's Nova, a late-sixties SF adventure that's also a commentary on adventure narratives, among other things.

John M. Ford's magnum opus The Dragon Waiting, which gets better every time I read it. This time it was in tandem with Draco Concordans on my phone.

(All three were excellent.)

What do you think you'll read next?

Who knows. Depends entirely on my mood and general level of brain.

"Jazz Fish, a saxophone playing wanderer, finds himself in Mamboland at a critical phase in his life." --Howie Green, on his book Jazz Fish Zen

Yeah. That sounds about right.
