So with Babel-17 done and dusted I looked further into the aforementioned box and was overjoyed to see another few childhood favourites.

I’ve just started Ursula Le Guin’s ‘Wizard of Earthsea’ and also have laid up several Conan novels. IIRC ‘Conan the Buccaneer’ was one of my favourites so that’ll be next on the list.

I’ve also been reading ‘World War Z - An Oral History of the Zombie War’ at work (yes, I’m lucky and no, I’m not Homer Simpson). I’m around two thirds of the way through it and in truth I’m finding it a little overly narrative and predictable, but I’ll finish it anyway.

Finished The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America by Bill Bryson. The gist: The writer spent his kid and teen years in Des Moines, Iowa and his adult working and family-raising years in England. He then goes back to mom’s house in Des Moines and starts a solo road trip around rural America in an old economy car he borrowed from mom. (He’s a professional magazines, newspapers, whatever writer, and obviously looking for some content a full length novel). Every day’s funny, some parts are LOL absurd funny. I’d recommend it.

Anyone read this series? The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott. My young and smart co-worker said it was amazing. Any intel?

The Copyeditor’s Handbook: A Guide for Book Publishing and Corporate Communications

Paperback – May 14 2019

Unstuffy, hip, and often funny , The Copyeditor’s Handbook has become an indispensable resource both for new editors and for experienced hands who want to refresh their skills and broaden their understanding of the craft of copyediting. This fourth edition incorporates the latest advice from language authorities, usage guides, and new editions of major style manuals, including The Chicago Manual of Style. It registers the tectonic shifts in twenty-first-century copyediting: preparing text for digital formats, using new technologies, addressing global audiences, complying with plain language mandates, ensuring accessibility, and serving self-publishing authors and authors writing in English as a second language. The new edition also adds an extensive annotated list of editorial tools and references and includes a bit of light entertainment for language lovers, such as a brief history of punctuation marks that didn’t make the grade, the strange case of razbliuto , and a few Easter eggs awaiting discovery by keen-eyed readers.

The fourth edition features updates on

  • the transformation of editorial roles in today’s publishing environment
  • new applications, processes, and protocols for on-screen editing
  • major changes in editorial resources, such as online dictionaries and language corpora, new grammar and usage authorities, online editorial communities, and web-based research tools

When you’re ready to test your mettle, pick up The Copyeditor’s Workbook: Exercises and Tips for Honing Your Editorial Judgment , the essential new companion to the handbook.

Watch For Me on the Mountain by Forrest Carter. It’s a novel about the Apache war leader Geronimo. Good enough that I’m reading it a second time, after some years.

Something a little different. ‘White Line Fever’, Lemmy’s autobiography.

I picked it up at a book exchange whilst working on St Cristobal in Galapagos around 15 years ago and happened upon it again when doing an attic clear out. I guess I’d intended to read it at some point whilst over there, but it ended up in the side pocket of a suitcase.

Why didn’t I get around to reading this earlier??? It’s a hoot! Highly recommended.

Wow, Lemmy’s autobiography. Just the idea of it is great.

Reading Watch for Me on the Mountain by Forrest Carter. It’s a novel about the Apache war shaman Geronimo. Really good, my second time reading it. The author also wrote the Josey Wales novels.
