Reading, etc.

stoutfellowLet's see. I finished Hambly's A Free Man of Color and Trollope's Framley Parsonage. The Hambly was interesting, but I'm not sure I'll continue with the series. (I suppose I will, eventually, but my Lord, I'm following so many series now. The House of Niccolo, the Steerswoman books, Anita Blake [yes, still], the Jani Kilian books, Thursday Next, The System of the World... There's a new Liaden book out, I haven't gotten back to Flashman yet, I'm not done with the Barsetshire Chronicles, and of course there are still quite a number of Heyers I haven't read. AARGHH!)
As for Trollope, I've gone on to The Small House at Allington. So far, it's pretty good, but I'm not enjoying it as much as Doctor Thorne or Framley Parsonage. (Despite the last parenthetical remark, I'm giving some thought to tackling the Palliser novels eventually. I tried reading Phineas Finn years ago, but didn't get very far before other obligations got in the way - this was in grad school.)
On a different note, I'm back to the Buffy marathon, about halfway through Season 7. The season wasn't that strong, and these episodes ("Never Leave Me", "Bring On the Night", "Showtime") drag somewhat, but there are bright spots. I know that Quentin Travers is actually one of the good guys - pompous, self-important, mean and heartless, but on the right side. Still, there's something satisfying about seeing him and the whole bloody Council blown up in "Never Leave Me".
