Making a note of the stuff I've read since the last post, in no particular order:

24. Kushiel's Mercy, Jacqueline Cary
    
25. Halting State, Charles Stross
    
26. Your Government Failed You, Richard Clarke
    
27. Succubus in the City, Nina Harper
    
28. Steampunk, Ann and Jeff VanderMeer, ed.
    
29. Murder on the Leviathan, Boris Akunin
    
30. The Death of Achilles, Boris Akunin
    
31. Blood Noir, Laurell K. Hamilton
    
32. Tong Lashing, Peter David
    
33. Tuck Everlasting, Natalie Babbitt
    
34. The Girl Sleuth: On the trail of Nancy Drew, Judy Bolton, and Cherry Ames, Bobbie Ann Mason
    
35. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman, Haruki Murakami
    
36. Songbook, Nick Hornby
    
37. The Spanish Bride, Georgette Heyer
    

I really feel like there should be one or two more at least, things I got from the library and forgot to make note of. Ah well. On the audiobook side, I've listened to Casino Royale and Live and Let Die in their entirety. (Holy crap, is that latter definitely of its time; the racial references were pretty cringe-worthy.) I ♥ the XM Sonic Theater channel; I can't listen to audiobooks at work because I can't pay enough attention to them, but they're great for the commute.  Unfortunately Sonic Theater breaks things up into half-hour chunks on a set schedule, so it takes much longer to listen to the whole thing. I'm afraid to look at how many weeks the current production of War and Peace is going to take to wrap up, at 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week.

# Succubus in the City, Nina Harper

*nods* I need to catch up on my noire reading...

How was Kushiel's Mercy? Noticed that it was out, but not willing to shell out for the hardback.

I liked it much better than the last one. It's also the last in the trilogy, so stuff gets wrapped up. I got it from the library; there's not much I'm willing to shell out for the hardback for at the moment. =)

Zoinks. Do you actually sleep? :)

I think I've read 3 books.

But, oh, the code I've written! (does that count?)

Occasionally. =) Keep in mind this is three months of reading, too.

Sure! I've written zero code outside of my office; I read instead. =)
