For whatever reason, I did quite a bit of book reading this week: I finished my re-read of A Conventional Boy on Monday, devoured The Regicide Report over the next couple days, and then, with the whole of The Laundry Files in the rearview, I started rereading the Murderbots in advance of tackling the new one in that series. Those tend towards the short side, so I re-read All Systems Red, Artificial Condition, and Rogue Protocol in short order; I’m currently on Exit Strategy.

Just use a computer the same way you did three years ago!
