No, I don't mean Ron Glass in drag. That would be Very Odd Indeed.

So, yesterday: Finished Neverwhere and read most of Mister Monday. Today saw Grim Tuesday done by lunchtime, and I've managed to slow myself down enough that I'm only halfway through Drowned Wednesday.

I shall call them the Days of the Reluctant Heroes, both of whom would've been quite comfortable to sit it all out with a lovely cup of tea.

Here are my very short non-spoilery commentaries at the moment:

Neverwhere: Inventive, imaginative, dark and amusing. I rather liked it, but that name - Mayhew - seems just a little too hint-like in hindsight.

Keys to the Kingdom: Lovely, inventive, beautifully written, and wonderfully brilliant. A refreshing twist on the ordinary and on conventions of genre, especially the way that Garth plays on seven-item lists.
