I’ve been able to do one really useful thing the last few days. Hopefully it will be more today since for the time being I’m feeling a bit better (knock on wood). But I figured I’d write a quick note about what I have been doing.
And what I have been doing is actually rather obvious, from the title of this post. I’ve been clearing some of the books that were on my “to be read” list in the light reading category. Because I haven’t really been up to anything more than light reading. I’ve read maybe four Agatha Christie detective novels, and two of David Weber’s Honor Harrington books.
The Honor Harrington novels are actually part of a re-reading process, since I’ve read the entire series before. But the Christies were new reads. They also get me down to roughly half a dozen Agatha Christie novels currently in my possession and unread. At the start of November that was still at something close to 15. Of course I’m still missing 9 of the books, but that’s a story for another time.
I’m kinda partial to Lawrence Block, especially his Keller novels, “Hit Man”, “Hit List”, and the new one which I haven’t acquired or read yet.
I also like Robert Crais, some Tony Hillerman, and Martha C. Lawrence for some other detective type reading.
