Why? Why not?

Dymocks have rearranged their sci-fi section. They now have the ‘popular series’ section right next to the ‘non-fiction stuff that might be of interest to sci-fi fans’ section. In case you haven’t realised, that’s me. I managed to get out with only the book I came for, The Neutronium Alchemist, second book of the Night’s Dawn trilogy. Of course, I started reading the first book without realising that it was part of a trilogy. So I decided I must have the next book.

Funny thing about that first book, The Reality Dysfunction. I picked it up on a vague recollection of a recommendation. It’s about 900 pages, so I didn’t even consider that it might be part of a series. I get about 100 pages away from the end, and realise that there is no way in hell that the story will finish before the book does. ‘Oh well’, I thought, ‘That’s another series to be addicted to, then’. C’est la vie, I guess.

Spent most of yesterday asleep. Verrry refreshing. I think I’ve been pushing the old body a little hard recently – this being at work at 8am business is harder on it than I thought.
