Yeah! C'mon May!
Oh...wait. That means I have to write the bloody thing, doesn't it?
(About 20K words in, as of tonight. Tying in all these little ends is maddening. Remind me never to do a five-book series again.
)
No pressure.
Just realize your adoring fans are counting on you for a satisfying finish.

Finished The Eye of the Pyramid. I have not decided yet if I'll continue with the Golden Apple, or finish a couple other books, or read a different one.

Well, The Algebraist was great, and the Dwellers an awesome species.
Just started
The Eye In The Pyramid now.

Do. I think the Dwellers have become one of my favourite alien species in Sci-Fi.

Old Man's War, John Scalzi.
My first book of his, inspired by the book club's recent Red Shirts pick. (This one was available at the library.) Only a chapter in, but good so far.

Finished Heinlein's classic Stranger in a Strange Land over the weekend. I generally am not gone on the sci-fi 'classics' preferring more contemporary novels, but I found this very readable and interesting. The relentless focus on gender and sex was surprising and reads like a precursor to the 'free love' of the hippies. It makes me wonder what concerns run through contemporary sci-fi that will stand out when it later becomes 'classic'?

The Fifth Elephant. I hope TP is writing these as fast as I'm reading them or I shall run out of books!

First time for Stranger?
I love it. But I love
Time Enough For Love even more.

I know he has Alzheimer's but maybe he wrote more diskworld novels than are on the chart that Frosty sent me, and which I am faithfully following.

He's said his daughter will be taking over the franchise. And there are rumours that he hasn't really been much involved in the last few as it is.
Don't know about that, but it will be a sad day when there are no more from him.
Anyway, I'm reading The Golden Apple.

Yeah, first time. I'll keep an eye out for more Heinlein, there seem to be plenty of good ones.

Oh, there are.
I'm also particularly fond of
Friday and
The Cat Who Walked Through Walls although many aren't.
And I must recommend the incomparable
The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.

I would LOVE to read Time Enough for Love again. Great book. But I have so many on my pile, and I read so slow...
