So far I wouldn’t recommend the stross either. But it was on dailylit.com, so it’s easy to pace too.

PS – I see you’re also reading Accelerando…that book is also on my “to read’ list this year. I tried it a few years ago but gave up early on. Since you’ve agreed to do TSD with me, maybe I’ll give Stross another go. Stay tuned.

I think I like Garcia Madero so much because I just see him as a big dumb tool. He wants so much to be a visceral realist, but he’s really just a lazy kid who really only wants to get laid.

I just finished this week’s section (post will appear by the weekend), and I started getting into the story more, although thus far the huck finn part seems like a stretch.

I’m very sorry to hear about your grandparents; I don’t think I’d be able to read at all under those circumstances. You’re in my thoughts.
