Finished Swords in the Mist. Such a joy to read Lean Times in Lankhmar more than a decade since reading the Mignola adaptation as a kid. Not as lean or mean as Swords Against Death. Still a rollicking time, with some hilarity and wonderful, evocative passages of prose.

Finished Swords and Deviltry. Like when I first read Vance, it's nigh-impossible to not think of D&D when reading Leiber's Lankhmar stories. Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser are like, the OG D&D duo. Bloody love it. So scuzzy and mercenary, and ruthless in its nastiness. Plus it's so witty!
