What are you reading?

I'm about a third of the way through Iain M. Banks's most recent SF book, The Algebraist. The reviews for this book have been mixed, but I'm really enjoying it. It is not a Culture novel, which I think freed Banks to play with new ideas and constraints. Of course it could all go to hell before I finish it...

Also in the queue I have a collection of short stories by Cordwainer Smith, and I should probably find something that isn't science fiction at some point.

Hasta Que El Cuerpo Aguante by Mägo de Oz

Mägo de Oz

Estamos locos de atar, somos trovadores que en tu ciudad
damos pinceladas de color a tu gris realidad
Somos mitad caballeros, mitad bohemios y embusteros
no somos lo que un padre quiere para su hijita bebé

Fantagraphics

Last night, Anne, Summer and I went to the Fantagraphics show at the Society of Illustrators. It was a great show in a small gallery. There was a panel by Rick Altergott --Doofus-- that was great.
