Books
- Finished the D-Genesis books. Kind of went too big on the plot changes, in my opinion. Not sure if there is any reason to keep reading, as things are getting overly ridiculous, even for a light novel.
- Finished a few Adrian Tchaikovsky including *Alien Clay, Saturation Point, Service Model (only made it a few chapters in, no need to finish this), Shroud.
- I've got 53 books in my ebook reader. A mix of Japanese light novels, science fiction, nonfiction (science, history), and memoir.
Music
Added 9 Henry Mancini albums to my collection. Very nice. Also Moon Dog and Brian Eno.
