Jan. 8th, 2007 12:50 pmCurrently reading Heavy Weather by Bruce Sterling on my PDA. It is the worst OCR job I've encountered yet in an ebook. This can be quite entertaining and occassionally sadly anti-climactic. On one page, I read with interest about a storm-chase vehicle called the "afrodrome" -- images of Shaft as a storm chaser. I was disappointed to learn on the next page that this was an OCR error and that it actually should have read "aerodrome".
I want to read a Dickens novel next which I will grab from the Gutenburg Project. Any suggestions about which one I might like? Snake and I are currently doing Dickens in the form of a fast and colourful BBC series of Bleak House starring, among others, Gillian Anderson (Scully from X-Files). I have the suspicion that when I begin writing my horror novel, it's going to be very Dickensian in plot and, possibly, language.
