[June] What are you reading?

[d4]

i just finished re-reading Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men. it was written in the 1920s, and is a "future" history of humanity from his own time to a time several hundred million years in the future, detailing the evolution and cultures and catastrophes of eighteen different human species. a lot of it is quite dated nowadays, but i still find it fascinating.

i'm just starting its sequel of sorts, Star Maker. after that, i still need to finish Heretics of Dune (i'm about halfway through) and then start on the nonfiction biography The Saga of Billy the Kid.

Slowly, but surely I'm working through the Harry Dresden novels. Although after I see Spider-Man 2 those are going to be put on hold for a few days while I dig into the Spider-Man 2 novelization by Peter David.

And I read Wicked by Gregory McGuire on Thursday (it was a very boring day at work...)
