Wednesday reading!

Read aloud:

<i>Bone</i>, story and art Jeff Smith, volumes 7 and 8 -- one more to go ...

Read all by myself:

<i>Under One Banner</i> and <i>A Mist of Grit and Splinters</i>, Graydon Saunders, books #4 (reread) and #5 (new) of the Commonweal — I want to read <i>Decorum During Destruction</i> (a guide to military tactics) as well as as many other of the <Decorum During</i> books as have been translated. These, especially <i>Mist</i>, are NOT good entries to the series: you probably want to reread #4 right before #5, unless you have an especially good memory, plus it is vigorously and thematically non-linear. It is good, though, to finally get more about the Fight Below the Edge and, now, its aftermath. (I wanted more of Slow + Eugenia though.)

A thin week, in many ways.

I am pretty sure Slow and Eugenia would have liked more social time themselves. (There is supposed to be a hint in the epilog that their social opportunities increase a bit after the events in Mist. It may well be overly oblique.)
