I over half way thru the fourth and final volume of the sci-fi series you lent me at the last gathering. Seems like I've been reading them for-ev-er! I like the shorter commute, but it certainly takes a lot longer to get through things than it used to. (Not so long as it seems, either, since I read a couple of other books just after you lent them to me, so I haven't been reading them since the last gathering.)
Anyway, I am enjoying them. I'll have to gather up my "Gap" (Stephen R. Donaldson) series and lend them to you to return the favor.
