bold = read, plain = unread; of the latter I only regret not reading Lichen which has been described to me before as a must-read, and having read two or three of Wyndhams work when I was younger, I trust it to be interesting. The PKD I’ve read merely doesn’t intersect with High Castle.

And “Microserfs”? I have no interest in reading about nerds who lack the wit to use a multiuser operating system when such are available.

Anyway – I’m off for a lush breakfast of sausage, bacon, devilled kidneys and scrambled egg on coabatta toast… More later.
