Wow, it\u2019s been over a month since I last posted here.<\/p>\r\n
Not gonna try to post about everything I\u2019ve been up to during that time. But here\u2019s some of what I did this weekend:<\/p>\r\n
\r\n
Read or skimmed or evaluated-and-discarded five books. (And continued reading two or three others that I\u2019m in the middle of.) My get-through-my-unread-books project is down to 129 unread mass-market paperbacks. I\u2019ve averaged about two books a week this year, so if I can keep that up, I might finish this phase of the project by the end of next year. Which is kind of disheartening, but I always knew this was a longterm project. (As always, the books remaining on the shelf are the ones that I\u2019m at least a little bit interested in reading, so \u201cjust give up on them\u201d isn\u2019t an ideal option.)<\/li>\r\n
Responded belatedly to some important Constellation Press email.<\/li>\r\n
Found another story I would like Constellation Press to reprint, but discovered that (a) it has been published as part of a novel-in-stories (so I should read the other stories before deciding whether to ask to reprint just the one story or the whole book), and (b) the story used to be available as part of two different ebooks, though I don\u2019t think either of those is still available. This sort of thing keeps happening; it\u2019s turning out that a lot of the material I would like to reprint in ebook form has already been made available. But I still have a list of stories and books to look into.<\/li>\r\n
