On the bookshelf currently: Tad William’s Tailchaser’s Song. A fairly whimsical, if a bit gory animal story. I like how the cats have their own creation myths; the first “M’an” was a disgraced cat that was stretched out and scalped. M’an was then condemned to service the cat race for eternity. Can’t you just see cats thinking something like that?
In the D drive currently: Freelancer, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
