I have a confession to make in this post. I’m blogging right now just to kill time. Time I should probably be spending on something far more useful. Unfortunately I have a monster of a headache right now, and just found myself watching for several minutes, as the time on a big download slowly ticked down.

So I decided to blog instead. It’s probably better for my sanity than watching the time tick down on a download, and accomplishes at least as much.  More, at least in the sense that I can take updating this blog off my to do list for a while.

And since I’m updating the blog anyway I might as well do a quick reading update. Because I have been getting some nice reading time in recently. For my most recent reading Harry Potter 7 is probably a good place to start. I read that within six and a half hours of receiving it, exactly two weeks ago today.

After that I re-read Watership Down – one of those books I read probably once a year – and David Weber’s Windrider’s Oath. Then I moved into new (for me) material again with Dan Simmons’s Hyperion, followed by S.L. Viehl’s Plague Of Memory. I was quite happy to finally get around to those two,  because they’ve both been by my bedside ready to be read for quite a while.

Unfortunately while the above means I did clear a couple of things from the to-be-read list I also bought four more books during that same period. So the motto “so many books, so little time” still holds true. But I guess that as long as I enjoy reading I can live with that.
