tracker7I'm at the desk on Oaks Day again, and it's a pretty quiet place to be. Rain, rain, so much rain this morning. My buddy Dewann came in a few minutes ago, and Glenn just walked in, and I think we've got this building to ourselves. I have a couple of books and my iPad and I'm not afraid to use them.
I haven't talked much about books lately, since my reading has been almost exclusively textbooks and other assigned pieces. I've tried to get in a few pages, 15-20 or so, every night before bed, but that's seen spotty success. Anyway, I'm a few stories into The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror 2016. By their nature, anthologies are hit-and-miss re: liking and disliking content, and this one is 2-1 so far. Gaiman's American Gods story is, of course, very good, and the opening story, about a patchwork woman and her component parts and creator, is a good read. Not much to say about the second one, though.
