A Bug's Life

Books read since 1 Nov:

Now Wait For Last Year, Philip K. Dick (1975)
Snake Agent, Liz Williams (2005)
Varjak Paw, SF Said (2003)
The Outlaw Varjak Paw, SF Said (2005)
Now We Are Sick, ed. Neil Gaiman and Stephen Jones (1991, 1994, 2005)
A Year In The Linear City, Paul Di Filippo (2002)
How to Survive a Robot Uprising, Daniel H. Wilson (2005)

still not finished most of my part-read books of October -
Secrets & Lies, Bruce Schneier
Rats and Gargoyles, Mary Gentle
Excession, Iain M. Banks

I hope to finish the Schneier and the Gentle in December, but will give up on Excession again until next year maybe. I've tried it at least twice now, and keep getting bogged down halfway through.

2006 total books read: 44, a stack of 88.2 cm.
I will try to make it to 52 books by the end of the year (down from my usual 75), but do not think I will reach the additional target of reading my own height in books!

EDIT: We don't need to keep these books - any takers? Postage appreciated or I could bring them to Ilford or Cambridge.

When I was born in 1970, I would be eligible for a state pension at age 60.
Then they changed the rules:
By 2020, when I am 50, I would be eligible for a state pension when I am 65.
Now they are proposing a change in the rules:
By 2035, when I am 65, I would be eligible for a state pension when I am 67.

It'll be worth a lot more, assuming I'm not dead.
Not that I've paid my stamp up to date.
