Of the writing exercise dating back
I’m finally back up and online after moving. It was a tiring bunch of days, but some time spent sitting around an empty house, waiting for people to show up allowed me to get quite a bit of reading done. I won’t say too much about these books I’ve read in the intervening days, except I’m in the middle of Philip José Farmer’s “World of Tiers” series, which is quite a bit of fun, and that Samuel Delany remains one of the world’s best science fiction authors, and Empire Star was no exception. I would recommend it to anybody.

I’m still on track for an 84-book year, but I still hope to make it to 100. We’ll see.
