I'm really enjoying Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, especially after the last two books were something of a chore to read. I was a little wary of it, not knowing how 300+ pages of Yodaspeak would go over because it can be annoying from the authors who don't get it quite right (Jude Watson). Sean Stewart, however, has a marvelous ear for dialogue. This is the Yoda we met in The Empire Strikes Back, sharp and witty with a mischevious streak, not the dour muppet from the prequel films. Scout is an interesting character, too. It's nice to get some insight into what it's like to not be a gifted Padawan.

Still not feeling great and running a slight fever so I stayed home from work today. Last night when it was uncomfortable to read I listened to several episodes of Patrick McLean's How to Succeed in Evil and Death of a Dishwasher, which are extremely funny and well done.
