Mmm. Pie. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mishak reminded me (and others) that yesterday was National Pie Day, and so when I told J. she was inspired to partake of our national pie heritage with a small apple pie, which had the advantage of clearing out some aging apples. I have just finished my share of it as Second Breakfast. Damn good stuff.
I'm reading an odd book right now, China Miéville's Perdido Street Station, a fantasy steampunk-ish novel which seems fairly clearly to be based on the author's (or a friend's) homemade RPG setting (there's even a mention of adventurers being in town, rowdy scum who will do anything for "gold or experience"). It's grim and complex (sometimes confusingly so) and more or less enjoyable, but it's not what one could call "captivating." But perhaps it suffers by simple proximity to Maguire's Wicked, which *was* hard to put down.
