For some reason, I have a tendency to forget to update this section.  Since the last update, however, besides those books I won’t mention, I finally got around to reading Charles Stross’s Halting State, Marjorie Liu’s Darkness Calls, Alastair Reynold’s The Prefect, and Rich Horton’s Science Fiction, The Best of the Year, 2008.  On my last trip, I started Eric Nylund’s Mortal Coils, but now that I’m writing — and behind — I probably won’t finish it until i travel again [which is when I read most books] although I’ve enjoyed what I’ve read so far.
