I had a bit of a break at work (AKA reading at the YMCA with a hundred screaming kids in the other pool) today so I finally got a chance to back in and read Bill Buford's Heat. I learned all about the making of pasta, mostly tortilini which are compared to innie belly-buttons. Who would have thought? Sounds delicious though.
I also have started reading my next Westerfeld book. The Killing of Worlds. It's an exact continuation off The Risen Empire. No time has elapsed between books. It picks up right at the beginning of the space ship's battle. It's actually got me quite intrigued now that I understand the story. I have never been one for a space science fiction story but this one has me hooked. I think this one will be a much quicker read than the first now that the plot and characters ahve already been set up. This is, of course, a good thing as I am looking forward to starting the next read on my list.
