the to-read pile

In a mildly distressing but all-too-predictable development, recently I've been accumulating reading material more quickly than I've been reading it. There are two things that I'm currently in the middle of reading:

1) The June 2007 issue of Asimov's. I just finished Jack Skillingstead's Scrawl Daddy story, which I didn't really get, and have left two short stories (including one by Neal Asher, who some of you may recall), plus a book review column and a poem by Greg Beatty.

2) The Diana Burgin/Katherine Tiernan O'Connor translation of Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. This is the second translation of this book I've read; it is the more complete of the two, but the other one is a far more enjoyable translation. So it goes.

Those will keep me occupied for a little while, but once I'm done with them what should I read next?

Conservapedia revisited

Having seen the latest versions of the conservapedia pages for Homo sapiens [in the discussion for that page we see: 'Can we add the creationist view on "Homo Sapiens?"'/'Yes, but keep it neutral.'] and the page for dinosaurs , I am a little sad that conservapedia hasn't discovered trilobites yet. (They're benthic and vagile, you know.)

(I started clicking around Conservapedia again after stumbling across uncyclopedia's article on it.)
