That Harris book was pretty good. Life of Cicero told from the point of view of his secretary.
Gotta love Gaiman, and, if you do, you should check out Tim Powers. Same sort of take on the world, little less poetry, little more veritas, about the same sort of humor.
In any case,
Finished Bester - The Demolished Man last week. (Should have been Bestest - the man was a frickin Wizard. Writes like PK Dick would write if he hadn't OD'ed on Joyce at some point.)
Finished Robinson - Red Mars yesterday.
Working on Green Mars (Downstairs) and Niven-Ringworld (Upstairs) (Also the New Tropical Fish Hobbyist and Zymurgy came in the last couple days, so I'll be going through those pretty soon).
