I have kidney stones and was in the hospital all last week. No books have been read, my bed and Zofran as well as my urologist are my best friends right now. Also knitting and cuddles with my cats.

I've listened to a little bit more of Spinning Silver though, but... yeah...

'A Night In Lonesome October.' Roger Zelazny. Short and easy read. 31 chapters, one for each day of the month. Jack the Ripper and Baron von Frankenstein are neighbors, and the book is narrated by Jack's talking dog.

one of the all-time greats, and an annual re-read for me.

Sorry to be off topic, but I just wanted to see how you were doing. Sorry to hear you were at the hospital, hope you're feeling better now!

Eh. I'm doing as well as I can. It's been a lot. My health stuff is more of a nuisance at this point. Thankfully @Arthur has helped a bit. I have surgery soon though thankfully!

That's good news, I hope all of this will be over soon! Take care

Wishes of a speedy recovery! I’m sorry to hear you have been having health problems. Hopefully they can get solved soon.

Thank you! I have surgery on the 31st, so still in limbo but I'm hanging in there. Stuck on bed rest, hence why I haven't been as active on here as I wish I could be.
