I just finished Doctor Who: Evil of the Daleks - John Peel
It's a Troughton story and it was fantastic. I'm not used to the plots being quite so complex as this one, particularly in older Who stories, which usually managed clever, but rarely were multilayered. Riddley Walker - Russell Hoban Several people on my Apocalypse Whenever Book Club have recommended it. I'd never heard of it. Haven't actually cracked it open, but it's ready to go.

I'm reading Deceiver (#11) in C.J. Cherryh's Foreigner series. I had started reading Betrayer (#12), but realized after the first page that I had skipped over a book in the series.
Amazing series. Sort of Shogun meets The King and I mixed in with a little Babylon 5.

I think Larry was badly treated by the story. Okay, so there's a part of him that's like biting on tinfoil, but by the time he's punished for it, he's reformed anyway. Quote:
Had I been hospitalised I'd have had far more to write about. I liked Lise's Story and Duma Key. I'd like to change my name to Cherryh.
