Elizabeth Moon, Victory Conditions was enjoyable but not exceptional. It did not have enough depth to write a long review of the book. I felt like I was reading a book which I could add half a star to two stars like they do in the newspapers when they rate films because I did not know whether it was alright or good. If you like military science fiction you might find it good, but it is not as good as her other books in the series. I am noncommittal but not negative. I will continue reading her other books. I liked The Deeds of Paksenarrion much better than this.

Last night, I placed two more books on hold. The first is Kahlil Gibran The Collected Works With 84 Illustrations by the Author. It is a new omnibus edition printed on acid free paper. I also requested a short story collection Pump Six and Other Stories by Paolo Bacigulp.

I tried reading The Somnabulist by John Barnes, but after reading the first fifty pages, I could not get into the story. I am returning it this morning.

I just picked up a copy of a popular science title Physics of the Impossible by Michio Kaku

Elizabeth Moon and Some More Random Thoughts.

I am about halfway through Moon Flights by Elizabeth Moon, a short story collection. I enjoyed reading her earlier science fiction and fantasy. Both the Deeds of Paksenarion series, and the Vatta's War series are very good. There is a short story called Say Cheese which is set in the Vatta's war setting. This collection is a mix of swords and sorcery and military science fiction. So far, I've liked "Fools Gold" about a miser turned into a dragon, and "Politics" which is about the politics of a group of marines in the future. There are fifteen stories and an introduction by Anne McCaffrey who she has collaborated with.

I've finished adding images to each of my posts. These are all public domain images with their copyrights removed or just in the public domain because of age. I got most of them from http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page .

It is fun to look through this site, there are a lot of very interesting images. Most of the images aren't particularly modern, but they are free and in my mind free is good. They are good for things like bookmarks, newsletter headers, and other minor items.

I haven't found any new places to post my site. I might go through and look at my keywords again to see how they might be improved. I am working a little bit each day on making this site better.

I just went and added a listing for Book Calendar to the social network site http://www.technorati.com/
