Too much caffeine again lately. I’ve been drinking a coffee (or other caffeinated beverage) as soon as I wake up, an americano or red eye when I get downtown, another before lunch, sometimes an iced coffee with lunch, and then another americano around three. My tolerance is insane now, so all the caffeine does at this point is make me jittery and uncomfortable without actually waking me up. I guess that means it’s time to suffer through a week or so of withdrawal headaches and then start over. Ideally I would just get more sleep, but in practice it doesn’t really work that way.

Last week, I reread Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive. I’ve read Neuromancer dozens of times of course, but the sequels not so much. They’ve grown on me a little bit, but I still think that Neuromancer on its own is a lot stronger than the three of them as a trilogy. I do like all three books, though.

This week I’m rereading the Chronicles of Narnia. Yeah, I know, right? They’re very quick reads because they’re short and written for kids, so I go through one of them in less than a day of commuting, but they’re so good. It’s been such a long time since I last read them (I must have been about nine or ten, I guess) that I only vaguely remember most of them, and some of them not at all. They really are a joy to go through again.
