Today was an absolutely gorgeous day, so I got up early (on weekends 10:30 AM is early), got the bike out, and headed to Hoboken. I'd been planning on getting a bike seat with a strategically placed hole, but wound up buying a new lock instead- can't find the keys to the old one, and anyway it was one of the sort that always made me twitchy about someone popping it open with a pen cap. Got a lovely steel clad cable lock instead and a nice set of lights; the seat can wait for next pay period.

Also got a copy of Thud! and Brassey's Book of Body Armor, the first 'cos I've been wanting to read it and didn't care to wait for paperback, the second because it looked interesting and was on the bargain table. I would've done more shopping but I had to catch a train to visit my parents. Wound up reading Thud! mostly on the train and finishing it at my parents' house as Mom was out shopping and Dad wanted to read the paper. Mutually beneficial arrangement all 'round, really. I liked the new grag quite a bit.

Tomorrow, I think, will be clean-up day. Also a visit to Target is in order; I need a bigger litterbox for the cats. There may be some cartoonish sketching, also.

Is 'Thud' having printing run problems or what? Or is it just that my library is broken?

Well I do know my copy has more typos than I'd have expected from a Pratchett, though admittedly less than a number of Hamiltons. If I were a library I might be tempted to wait until they did a printing with an editor who remembered very few words have double 'a's in them, in the least....

That's not my cow!

typos or not, Thud! kicked ass. I admit i saw fewer typos than i might have, since we took turns reading it to each other on a trip to pittsburgh, but it was one of the best books I'd read in quite a while.
