I finished Ghost Story today! It took me what - about five months? - to bull my way through Changes and I did Ghost Story in less than five hours this morning.

It is kind of strange to be here without any more Dresden Files books at the top of my To-Read pile, I have to say.

I think I enjoyed this one more that any of the others. Possibly because I came to it almost completely unspoiled - I don't come to media completely unspoiled very often, as you might have noticed, but every so often (usually when I'm on a two-week trip when a new book comes out) I arrange it as a sort of a luxury. I am divided on how it changes the experience - I know a study recently came out that claimed that stories are more fun if you're spoiled. I suspect it has to do with how one is spoiled, and how much one would have enjoyed the story regardless - Changes wasn't really a book I would've like either way, but I think Ghost Story is now going to be the book I recommend as a starting point for DF. (Well, that or MoC.) And coming to it unspoiled was fun.

I think all I really knew was that ( spoilers, obvs. )

I still need to figure out which of Harry's friends would play the keyboards, though. Harry is obviously guitar, Butters is on drums, one of the Carpenters is on harmonica, but I can't make up my mind about keyboards. And does anybody know of anybody who does polka/blues fusion music? It seems like it must exist but I haven't found any except this one Swedish group that doesn't quite work.

OMG I just realized - Mr. Sunshine. Harry you've got to learn to stop freaking naming creatures of unimaginable power!

Other thing I did: I fixed my computer cord! With my soldering iron! All by myself! Well, except those two wires that I can't figure out what they're for, but the battery's charging, so there. :P
