Day the 2nd: reading
2 Oct 2020 07:20 pmI've used this pandemic to catch up on an extensive backlog of reading, mostly fiction, that I amassed during grad school. I read a lot of things through the Athens library's ebook lending service (the entire Witcher series, for one) and bought some others (Network Effect, because I love Murderbot). The PG County library has a much larger selection, which I look forward to taking advantage of.
At the moment, I'm re-reading CJ Cherryh's Foreigner series and focusing on the linguistic aspects so I can write about it for Tor. I'm re-buying the whole mess (all 21 fucking books) digitally, because I let the paperbacks of 1-18 go in the process of packing for the divorce.
I also need to (re)read a bunch of sociolinguistics articles that are saved on my computer, so I can use that information in the book I'm writing for Patreon. The problem is that I have a LOT of them, some of which I never actually read, just downloaded because they sounded interesting. Others would be a re-read, because I read them for a class or a paper.
