ellestraI'm back in US and I got my hands on my laptop again. Despite tiredness and food poisoning it was great to be home. I now miss it even more then before. More later as today is for catching up.
I was so busy there I barely had time to check e-mail. No time for updates and checking the news. So I only learned about Hugos today.
And the winners are:
I see people couldn't decide between The City & The City and The Windup Girl. Two most awarded and discussed genre books of last year. I really need to read both. But first I will read The Evolutionary Void. I should have it in my hands in next couple of days.
