Media consumption! I wandered away from reading an anthology halfway through, so I decided to list the stories I read instead.

Week of Jan 28:

Books/short stories:

"There Will Come Soft Rains," Ray Bradbury
"Nightfall," Isaac Asimov
Blown for Good: Behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology, Marc Headley (Unlike last week's books, this is a first-person account written by a former Scientologist and Sea Org member.)
A Baby's Cry, Cathy Glass (this woman writes true stories of children she's fostered during her years of being a foster carer in England. As you will see from the rest of this list, I have become shamefully addicted to her books.)
I Miss Mummy, Cathy Glass
The Night the Angels Came, Cathy Glass (look at those fucking titles, okay, see why I say shamefully addicted?)
A Queer and Pleasant Danger, Kate Bornstein (is that the best memoir title ever or what?)
and the list of stories from an anthology called The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: The Doctor's Case," Stephen King; "The Horror of the Many Faces," Tim Lebbon; "The Case of the Bloodless Sock," Anne Perry; "The Adventure of the Other Detective," Bradley H Sinor; "A Scandal in Montreal," Edward D Hoch; "The Adventure of the Field Theorems," Vonda N McIntyre; "The Adventure of the Death-Fetch," Darrell Schweitzer

Movies:

Pitch Perfect

I picked up the two Scientology books you mentioned last week. I found the Sweeney one a bit hyperbolic for my tastes, but I'm really enjoying the other one. (The other problem with the Sweeney one was that I kept getting the theme tune to The Sweeney stuck in my head...)
