January Reading

Whew the first month of the year has passed the midway mark already! What have you been reading? Or what are you planning on reading this month? Is anyone interested in a February group read?

I finished two books I started last year: Jin Yong‘s Legend of the Condor Heroes and an audiobook of a German columnist. So all in all a pretty good start!

I finished three Penric and Desdemona novellas by Lois McMaster Bujold- the travel ones. It was fun. Now I'm on a Hugo winning Downbelow Station but I think I just want something lighter.

Bujold has a very wide range in what they write, from really close to farce to really sodding depressing. My experience is that lots of people like some of Bujold's work, but not as many like everything. I'm not sure where the Penric and Desdemona stories fit, because I haven't been able to access them at a sensible price.
