  4. Jan 9: Inheritor, by C.J. Cherryh (Foreigner #3)
  5. Jan 10: Chobits vol. 1, by CLAMP
    I love this world to bits, and everyone who recommended it to me is very very right. It's a lovely starter-manga, for those who want to start learning how to read Japanese stories. Funny, touching, knowing, just enough Japanese Weird to start getting used to it while you learn to read the panels right-to-left and what the conventions mean.
  6. Jan 11: The Canary Trainer, by Nicholas Meyer
    A deft Holmes pastiche (his previous similar efforts are The Seven-per-Cent Solution and The West End Horror). In this one, Holmes takes on the Phantom of the Opera -- no, really. :-> I rather liked it. It's unabashed Watsonian fanfic, and I don't think much like what Conan Doyle would have written, but I like it.
