jazzfishSo I finished rereading the Hitchhiker's trilogy, for the first time in, oh, probably fifteen years. (Side note: holy cow is Mostly Harmless ever a depressing book. It's really good-- it may be the best novel of the lot-- but, yow.) And now I find myself with an embarrassment of riches.
In Vancouver I picked up a copy of Anathem, which I am told is a Neal Stephenson book with an ending. Thing is, it's Big, and bulky, and kind of annoying to carry around. It's much easier to carry Heat of Fusion, and I've been meaning to get back to that for awhile, prompted by a reread of "Chromatic Aberration" for a sadly moribund discussion forum. But I've also been meaning to reread Wolfe's Long Sun and Short Sun series, so I can pick up on some of what I missed the first time through. (devouring The Sorcerer's House last week did not help matters here.)
Or I could go with my original plan and reread the Dirk Gently books. I worry that that'll be too much DNA all at once. I did pick up a copy of King Rat at Stone Ridge last weekend, I could always finally read some of Mieville's stuff. And of course there's Ratio, a book about cooking, which I got from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uilos last year and have been slowly wending my way through.
And then I remembered, I have a paid account for just such an eventuality!
