randomness

 FInished my last final today, with rather excellent Mandarin tones and a nice voiceless palatal fricative!  (Don't ask about the written, my hand is all cramped up still)  And now it is vacation!  (i.e. finish grad school app time).

So I need books to read.  I haven't read anything that made me want to jump up and hit some orcs in a while.  Any recs of good swashbuckling fare?  Or steampunk?

Have you read Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson? Steampunk. Very decent steampunk to boot.

Ooh, that sounds good. I'll have to check it out!
