Anything good on TV?
Sadly, nothing SUPER EXCELLENT to report today. Maybe next time.
In the Stormy Red Sky by David Drake
Drake goes back to the well one too many times (again) with yet another installment in the Leary/Mundy saga. A real yawner with a tired plot: government intrigue leads to a climactic battle against insurmountable odds, yet the dynamic duo of Leary and Mundy pull out yet another victory. Haven’t we heard this story before? Skip it.
2/5 gogs.
Midnight Tides by Steven Erikson
My insatiable desire to absorb all things Malazan drives me ever onward. So far, this was the weakest book in the series. No Bridgeburners. No Malazans at all. Book five instead brings forth a slew of new characters set in a new region. At first glance, the novel seems more suited as a standalone than as part of Erikson’s epic. I actually found myself drifting off numerous times and having to re-read sections in order to stay with the story. A bit of a yawner, but required reading if you want to understand what happens in the next book.
3/5 gogs.

Putting the Fun Back in Funding
As a follow-up to my previous post, the 50% funding cut for libraries in Ohio has been cut down to something closer to 30% in the final budget. I suppose this is a bit of a win, but there are still many small libraries that need every cent that is being taken away.
