Recently I read a bunch more picture books for class. I've added them to my list again so I'll remember them, but feel a bit guilty because that means that my counter knows about them as well.

The other day I read Guy Delisle's Pyongyang, a graphic memoir of his months spent in North Korea. As with his Shenzhen, it was interesting reading.

Last night I finished Cities, edited by Peter Crowther. It contained novellas by China Mieville, Michael Moorcock, Paul di Filippo and Geoff Ryman. I'd read the Mieville and di Filippo works before, but happily re-read them. The Moorcock story was a Jerry Cornelius story which I just didn't understand, even though I read The Cornelius Chronicles eons ago. The Geoff Ryman story was a story of old age gone awry. It made me want to read more of his work.
