   Let's focus on happy things we need to refuel: What are you reading this weekend?

   Here, it's classic Scandinavian crime fiction (Martin Beck series). Not sure what the second book will be once I finish this one.

     @hmwilker @vicgrinberg Space opera, with a progressive vibe (guaranteed to offend TERFs and singularitarian fundamentalists). Not *quite* the fully automated luxury gay space communism of the Culture, but that's where the narrator's sympathies lie.

     @cstross I like “Never say never”, and remember that you said that before regarding the Laundry Files, but am just as interested in what you come up with in the meantime. Thanks for all your books!

     @hmwilker @vicgrinberg Second-but-last *for now*. (Bob's story arc wraps up in "The Regicide Report" and I badly need a few years off. But never say never.)

     @vicgrinberg Yes. Second-but-last installment, I think?

     @vicgrinberg Started „A Conventional Boy“ by @cstross. Not the most happy subject, but good nonetheless.
