Reading ChapterHouse: Dune.
It's been going pretty slow and I've sort of lost track of what's going on...

I never did finish this book. I think I got about two thirds of the way through and just ran out of steam. There’s an awful lot of opaque Bene Gesserit shenanigans.

I'm two thirds of the way through the book now and it seems like something is finally about to happen....

Let me know if it does.

I just read Totto-chan The Little Girl at the Window by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, based on a recommendation from a friend who loved it as a young girl.

It's a wonderful little book, autobiographical of the authors' experiences at a little school in Japan during World War 2.

Goes from laugh out loud funny in one chapter to heartbreaking in the next, and it's all a testament to the curiosity, uniqueness and goodness of children that is often lost within the framework of rigid education structures.

Is Chapterhouse: Dune the one with the Bashar Miles Teg? I don't recall, but I liked that guy.

I think he’s an old man in Heretics and a young ghola in Chapterhouse, but I may be confusing him with someone else. Was he the super general with the super speed?

Yes, yes and also yes.

It didn't...but then 4/5ths of the way through stuff happens. Overall though my least liked Dune book I have read.

That’s what I feared. Thanks.

Is it true the book never tells you who Sid and Marty are or what they are doing?

I'm currently giving three body problem a second read, because I was frankly a bit overwhelmed the first time around, especially in regards to the characters and their interrelations. Loving it still so far, as it seems to have been constructed by a meticulous mind.

I've been reading my self-published book, The Angaran Chronicles: The Underside, on and off and while it's not bad. There are a frig-ton of missing words and, at times, sentences. I'm not terribly happy as I paid an editor a pretty penny to edit it (a very pretty penny as she was American, and that made me pay double in NZ monies). So I don't know If I'll have her edit the 2nd novel if/when I finally get around to writing it. Had some of the worst writer's block I've had in a long time with that book.
