Random quote: "Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding... " - William Gibson (Neuromancer)

Location: UK		No idea what will turn up this month. Looking after a recuperating Mr Dusty,sorting the house for Xmas,and all the cards and presents for a huge family to sort will all make reading be something to squeeze in in small doses.
I will be rereading C J Cherry's Explorer,the 6th book in the Foreigner series,and that is over 500 pages long,so that may be all,or just short stories and fluff reads,same as the last few months.We'll see how it goes

Location: UK		I enjoyed my reread of C J Cherryh's Explorer,where we meet up,all too briefly with a new species in the Foreigner series. I have always wished Cherryh had developed that theme much more,but sadly almost all the following books,16 of them, have concentrated on the internal strife and covert machinations of the atevi court. Enjoyable,but I wish she could have gone in that different direction.
Also enjoyable was a reread of Winterfair Gifts,a novella in the Vorkosigan series.Its always a delight to revisit Barrayar and meet up with old friends
Also read a couple of Max Carrados short stories by Ernest Bramah, about a blind detective who has developed his powers of detection to almost supernatural levels.Obviously heavily influenced by Conan Doyle's Holmes,but its always fun seeing authors trying to spin out some variations on the Holmes theme .
For the rest I mostl nread light fluff that doesnt show up on WWEndlists.lol. .
