Good Book Weekend

Posted in Books, Culture, Good Stuff at 9:14 pm by thomas

While I usually pretend to keep abreast of what books are coming out, this one was a surprise purchase, oh, about ten seconds after entering our local Barnes and Noble late last week: “Unseen Academicals” by Terry Pratchett.

For some reason I hadn’t seen any announcements for this one, so dragging the hardcover book to the checkout counter filled me with glee. And it’s good – started reading it and like it a lot.

At the same time, I got my copy of Memories of the Future by Wil Wheaton. I’ve read most of the original posts that make up the base material for this book, and I already know it’s great. So I’m going to try and read it slowly to enjoy all the nuances of the final, edited book.

OK, enough blogging – I have two books to read!  :)

    Thanks for the heads up on both of those! While I haven’t been short of things to read lately, these two have been near the top of my Want list. And yet I somehow missed their release…
