Because I Know You've All Been Waiting

I'll be reading the following for the Winter Reading Challenge:

• The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana by Umberto Eco


• Viriconium by M John Harrison


• Rashi's Daughters: Joheved by Maggie Anton


• Greywalker by Kat Richardson


• Embers by Sandor Marai

I should mention that I'm a fairly quick reader under normal circumstances, but since Adam showed up, circumstances have been anything but normal. To be honest, I'm a little concerned about my ability to finish this, particularly since I feel like I've really got something good with my NaNoWriMo novel, and I'd like to devote the next few months to it. (Yes, that's antithetical to the spirit of NaNoWriMo, but do remember, I'm multi-tasking, and I want it to be very good when I send it in for Viable Paradise.)

But then, as the ancient sages said, Tis better to have signed up and failed to read five novels than to leave them still atop the teetering "to be read" pile until the whole damned thing falls on your head while you sleep.

Or something like that.
