I've read The Battle for Bennelong and am almost finished Becoming Jane Austen (which is overdue at the library). Not sure what I'll read after that. Much cross stitching to do as well.....

I just read a short story about a Black Welsh lesbian pimp.

Soon I Will Be Invincible: A Novel by Austin Grossman

I want you to read this book so bad; I'm willing to buy it and ship it to you- it's that good.

C&P from Amazon listing:

Book Description
Doctor Impossible—evil genius, diabolical scientist, wannabe world dominator—languishes in a federal detention facility. He's lost his freedom, his girlfriend, and his hidden island fortress.

Over the years he's tried to take over the world in every way imaginable: doomsday devices of all varieties (nuclear, thermonuclear, nanotechnological) and mass mind control. He's traveled backwards in time to change history, forward in time to escape it. He's commanded robot armies, insect armies, and dinosaur armies. Fungus army. Army of fish. Of rodents. Alien invasions. All failures. But not this time. This time it’s going to be different...

Doctor Impossible: "I'm not a criminal. I didn't steal a car. I didn't sell heroin, or steal an old lady's purse. I built a quantum fusion reactor in 1978, and an orbital plasma gun in 1979, and a giant laser-eyed robot in 1984. I tried to conquer the world and almost succeeded, twelve times and counting."

Du calme, the library up the road's got a copy. :-)
