*****
And that's how my reading for 2016 continued in the fourth month of the year. Truthfully, I was a bit surprised how much reading I got done in April, but for a chunk of the month I was pretty ill and had a lot of time to read, and I was rather pleased at the variety of the reading that I did during the month. It also reminded me that when I don't read a lot of roleplaying game stuff, I do actually read quite a few other books during the course of the month. :) Yes, there's a lot of Alastair Reynolds books in the month, but I needed to make a dent in that queue of books. My favourite books for the month were The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell, a witty book that is well written and had some fascinating subject matter; S.P.Q.R. V: Saturnalia by John Maddox Roberts, which kept his Roman investigator occupied, and had some wonderful material about Roman witches and their deeds; House of Lost Worlds by Richard Conniff, a fascinating work that tells the story of how one museum changed ideas about dinosaurs, dynasties, and even the story of life on earth; and The Rhesus Chart by Charles Stross, in which the authors explores vampires in the context of his Laundry Files series, and Bob Howard's life takes a turn for the worse. Good books, and recommended all of them. Overall, I managed to read 13 novels, 1 RPG and RPG products, 2 magazines, 30 comics, and 0 graphic novels in March. This brings the year total in 2016 to a set of numbers that look like this: 41 books, 5 RPGs and RPG products, 9 magazines, 140 comics, and 0 graphic novels.
Anyway, thoughts and comments are always welcome. :)
