I thought I was finally catching up but Little Doors by Paul DiFilippo just showed up from amazon. I've gotten a bit behind on his stuff in specific as well.

Last night I did finish Kate Chopin's The Awakening. I'm not entirely sure I think it's one of the best young adult books of the millenium (or any of the other lists it's ended up on) but it was quite readable over a hundred years after it was published (except for occasional words like "befurbowled"). I don't think I would have found it quite as interesting had I not known it caused a huge uproar when it was first published. I rather think I'm glad I wasn't alive in 1899.
