reading Parasite Eve
Hideaki Sena really needed you to know that he knows all about the biology and bureaucracy that goes into a kidney transplant i guess

Finished The Algebraist, by Iain Banks, after putting it down for a few months. Did not care for it. It was mostly a vehicle for some neat world building, but the characters were meh, the plot wandered aimlessly, and the conclusion was just… nothing.
