		<description><![CDATA[Necessary Evil by Ian Tregillis provides a grand conclusion to the Milkweed Triptych. The concluding volume starts with a fascinating point of view from Gretel at age five as she is sold to the mad Doctor Westarp. You can find this for free here.

		<description><![CDATA[From March 5 to March 20, we were in Maui having a lovely vacation. This is the eighth trip I&#8217;ve taken to Hawaii and the seventh family vacation. We usually stay at the Luana Kai condos in Kihei. A condo is nice in that you get a kitchen and a washer/dryer.

		<description><![CDATA[Here are the works I nominated for Hugo awards for 2013. As with last year, I confined my nominations to things that I had already read rather than casting about frantically to see what other people read.

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, down in the comments, mentioned they were reading Neuromancer (1984) by William Gibson and asked what else they might find that was similar that they might enjoy. I thought that might be of interest to others, so I&#8217;m promoting and expanding on my answer a bit. A decent place to go after reading Neuromancer <a href='http://www.stevenhalter.com/?p=1205' class='excerpt-more'>[...]</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over at Tor.com, I have been participating in The Read of Ice and Fire. For various reasons, I hadn&#8217;t started the Song of Ice and Fire series until fairly recently and so, by &#8220;A Clash of Kings&#8221; I was synched up as a first time reader.

		<description><![CDATA[Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronovitch was recommended to me by my friend Gary and has proven to be a delightful way to start the new year. In other words, I enjoyed it very much.
