State of the MJ

So the orthopedist says yes all that stuff the GP read off the MRI is true, but that's the knee pain you've been living with for years. The new pain is a severely strained calf. I think. Lets try treating it that way and see how it responds. We will deal with all the knee junk later when you can't stand it anymore

If you haven't read "The Goblin Emperor" by Katherine Addison, that's my top recommendation. It is *fantastic*. The main character is one of the most likeable protagonists I've run across recently, the plotting is tight, the world-building is great... it made me very happy

I love the Rivers of London series so I'm going to take your other recommendations very seriously. The Kindle tells me I have one hour of misery left in Gideon after which I will give the Goblin Emperor a go. Thanks for the advice - MJ

Glad to help!

Go with a classic: Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men in a Boat. 125+ years old, but still in print and still funny. Plus it's public domain now, so you can get it for free for your ereader if you have one.

I second this as well. It is one of my go-to reads when I need a lift.
