Finished work on the bike.

I finished putting the big-bore piston kit into my motorcycle. I don't remember (and I'm too lazy to check) whether I mentioned I'm doing this.

In case you're curious what that involves, here is a link to Part 1 of the pictorial installation guide I wrote on it:

Books and such

I read Neuromancer a long time ago, around 11th or 12th grade, maybe. I imagine that's going to be a pretty frustrating read nowadays, since a lot of the slang is hacker gibberish from the late 80s/early 90s, and much of the rest is this weird mix of Korean and a couple other languages. Ummm. I'm probably not helping. If this helps, it was a good story anyway, and it eventually started to make sense despite the incomprehensible amalgamation of languages.

The only Agatha Christie I remember reading was Murder on the Orient Express. Someone said it was her best work, and I remember loving it. Check that out too.

Good call on Neuromancer. The language mix, I didn't notice. It seemed like a bunch of futuristic technical jargon. The author felt he had to start right in with it, without giving any clues as to what these words meant. Some of them, I didn't figure out what they meant until halfway through the book. This book was not as good as its reputation would suggest.

I'll try Murder on the Orient Express by your recommendation and 10 Little Indians/And Then There Were None on my sister's recommendation.
