Summer blogging break

It's that time again, a time for rest and relaxation. I don't expect to post again until mid-August, at which point I will be beginning my sabbatical. I'm not sure if or how my sabbatical will affect posting frequency or topic choice, but I guess we'll find out together.

Thanks to all who voted in my reading poll, it's been fun. I probably should have picked slightly less obscure novels, and may I'll have a somewhat more mainstream selection if I try this next year. The winners are:

• Old Man's War by John Scalzi
  
• River of Gods by Ian McDonald
  
• Passage by Connie Willis
  
• Homeward Bound by Harry Turtledove

I'll be reporting on my impressions of my reading material on the other blog. Have a good summer everyone!
