ADDED a review of Cory Doctorow's Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. That's right: the famous online novel released here for free is now also reviewed here for free!

Seriously, Doctorow's novel was all right: not great, but worth a lazy afternoon. Read the review for more details.

I went to the public library today. I think I'll start on the first book of Michael Moorcock's Dancers at the End of Time trilogy (or whatever it's called). I thought Elric of Melnibone was sort of trashy, but hey, Dancers is supposed to be among Moorcock's best fantasy work, so I'll give it a shot.

Afterward, if I have time in the summer, is Christopher Priest's The Space Machine, and Jeff Noon's Vurt. In reality, though, I probably won't have enough time left to finish all these books--only two and a half weeks more before I head home. Then the real, serious reading begins.
