My primary home lab (2 x SuperMicro 1U servers) runs inside IKEA shelf (slightly modified though). The second home lab (2 x SuperMicro SuperServers E300) is hosted inside LEGO chassis we've built together with my son
Currently, I am in the middle of Patrick Rothfuss - The Name of the Wind.

Really enjoying "Ready Player One" I wanted to get it read before the movie comes out. Now that I am in it, that won't be a problem.
You're in the movie?
Yes, acting is a part-time gig.

The kids are going to a home school book club at the local library early this afternoon.

Making an attempt to finish the Harry Potter saga tonight.

Just started "A Darker Shade of Magic". It looks like an interesting amalgam of parallel universes, urban fantasy, and (maybe) steampunk.

There’s far worse fates!! Might I suggest a short break with Neil Gaiman’s ‘Fortunately, the Milk’?

It's true. I easily read the Chronicles of Narnia a hundred times as a kid.

The Wheel of Time series.
Honestly, I wasn't looking for a series like this. I'm pleasantly surprised. It's quite involved and I enjoy the byplay between the characters as well as the varied plot(s), although the constant 'stare that could flay the flesh from your bones' repetition gets tired. -

I liked the series, but it had some issues that never really got answered well. But that all may jsut be due to his death.

Sanderson picked up some if the slack but I don't think he really captured the feel. Which is sad because I'm a huge fan of Sanderson's other work.
