I'm #CurrentlyReading accelerando by Charles Stross.
I bought a "new" copy a couple years ago(?) as a mass market paperback. the bookseller shipped it to me wrapped in thin paper and cardboard, and it sat in the rain. the front 20% of the pages are wrinkled, and it has sat on the shelf ever since they dried.
anyhow. I'm finally reading it.

I'm #CurrentlyReading The Reckoning of Roku by Randy Ribay
(which has a lot of alliteration there)
but it was a super fast read so I already finished it. it's fun though.

I'm #CurrentlyReading The Gormenghast Novels by Mervyn Peake
I've had the omnibus book for years and it sat on my shelf as I kept opting for easier reads. I don't have excuses anymore, so here I go. I have no idea how long it will take, but will ping the thread for posterity as I finish each book.
The first one is Titus Groan.

I got ~200 pages in and ground to a halt becuase life etc. Also it's so Dickensian I find the read laborious even though the vocabulary and rich descriptions are delightful.
I am still ground to a halt, more than a month later. I will put it back on the shelf and return to it when the surrounding life etc is less depressing and thus it's not such a close reflection.
I'm #CurrentlyReading _Is Pluto a Planet?_ by David A. Weintraub
I was talking with my friend's daughter about her upcoming Cosmology 101 class and examining my shelf of astronomy books on that level to see if I had the one she needed. (I did not.) Whilst I was looking, this book stood out to me becuase I do not recollect actually reading it.
