Re-reading Geoff Ryman's 253 in traditional analogue form as opposed to the e-text.

One of my favorites. The words are wonderful. John Houston just cut dialogue from the book and pasted it together into a script.

A funny book. I'm about half-way through. Forrest just escaped from the cannibal island where the king was a Yale graduate who loved chess. Forrest knew that if he lost a game, he was lunch, so he sorta had incentive to learn fast.

Just discovered Paul Park and inhaled A Princess of Roumania. Now I'm on the second of four, The Tourmaline. A touch older crowd than Rowling or Pullman, but perhaps a better writer than either of them. Happily I won't be able to say for sure until I finish the next one, The White Tyger, then wait for the finale to be published.
