Hm? Is DW down or not?
Hard to tell with the persistent grey skies but I'd guess 9/10s of my blossoms have scattered, turning next door's yard into a Yayoi Kusama installation. Two doors down still glows mightily white but green begins to appear at the tips, meaning the end is near.
Finished?
Pratchett, The Light Fantastic
-- well, at least I've read it now
Two RoL graphic novels on an ebook app, Action at a Distance and The Fey an the Furious
-- time fillers, pleasant but not memorable
Reading now?
O'Donnell, The House on Vesper Sands
-- ebook that came in and must be finished for the waiting masses
Parry, A Radical Act of Free Magic
- bicycle reading, even if a bit large for comfort. Does indeed read better ìn dead tree form.
Next?
Might finish The Woman in White one of these days. Was skimming through The Scarlet Pimpernal for Reasons, but my copy is falling apart and I was reminded of Baroness Orczy's anti-semitism and really I'd rather not.

Fortunately someone in our RPG group suggested starting with Guards! Guards!, which worked out just fine.

I think Guards! Guards! was where I started too. Didn't grab me exactly. I was trying to figure out what a friend had been talking about, saying Kushner's Fall of the Kings was doing something no one had thought of previously until Pratchett did it, and I couldn't see the connection. (What she meant, it turned out, was putting university academics in a fantasy setting.)
But a few months later I wandered into a library sale and got Night Watch and Thief of Time and that was the facile decensus Averno.
