I couldn't find my copy of Dr. Mutter's Marvels, so ended up reading Robin Hood instead. I actually finished it several months ago, but forgot to so indicate here. It was, honestly, pretty bad. It's shocking repetitive-- like more than half the stories are basically Robin Hood or someone else from his band meeting a stranger, getting in a trivial fight with the stranger, then inviting the stranger to join the band. The stranger invariably agrees, presumably dropping completely out of his old life. It was... kind of weird.

Between that and now, I read Extremely Loud, and Incredibly Close on the recommendation of a coworker. It reminded me of Hard-Boiled Wonderland, in that it had two different stories going on simultaneously, one of which I found interesting and well written and the other of which I didn't like at all, and unfortunately (in both cases) the author spent more time on and seem to be more interested in what manifested to me as the less interesting story.

Tonight, I just finished the Welcome to Night Vale novel, which was a fun read, but basically fan service; I would not recommend it to anyone who was not already a fan of Night Vale. I've also acquired-but-not-yet-read Urshurak, a high fantasy novel I read most of as a kid (circa age 12 I think), but lost in an airport about 80 pages from the end. And that brings me to:
