Karate seriously takes it out of me. I'm going to have to hit the gym more often to improve aerobic fitness, I think.

#

Books 109-111, Fiction 104-106.

104. Liz Williams, Precious Dragon

Wow. And I mean, wow. Yet another weirdly mythic excellent adventure in Heaven, Hell and Singapore Three. Really, really good.

105. Timothy Zahn, Night Train to Rigel

For my money, Zahn does space adventure like no one else in the business. This isn't a thinky book, it's not a particularly stunning book, but what it is, pure and simple, is fun.

106. Sonny Whitelaw, Stargate SG-1: City of the Gods.

Reading Stargate media tie-ins to decompress may not have been my best idea ever. This one hits a notch above 'meh' on my personal scale: it was on the nose in terms of characterisation, but it had some definite pacing and structure issues. I mean, seriously. And the peril? Lacked punch.

#

In other news, Duellist stands at 5.5K new words, and 20K hopefully-reuseable-at-some-point words. I'm behind in my aims, but it happens. The main thing is that I'm making some kind of progress, right?
