Oh, this got delayed a bit.

I am still reading Valour’s Choice by Tanya Huff. Book 1 of Confederation series. Almost near the end though. Enjoying the book a lot.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening?

They also made a nonfiction book out of this, but I liked the show better.

Honestly I don't really like Ricky Gervais's gleeful cruelty or his style of comedy, but I think the show was really good for Karl Pilkington. You could see how mousy he was in the first few episodes, miserably eating the Chinese lady's toad just because she told him to, and then partway through the first series he kind of finds his balls and he's yelling at the guy in Jordan "I'm not getting on the fucking camel!" when stuff is unreasonable beyond a certain point.

Travel is good for you.

The series with Warwick Davies is great. Brilliant clash of attitudes / personalities between Karl and Warwick resulting in some both hilarious and uplifting stuff. inkeeping with the trajectory Ricky’s stuff has generally taken.
