Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
The Accidental by Ali Smith... was a little difficult to get in to.. kind of written in stream of consciousness almost.. looks at a family from each person's perspective.. interesting stuff. Just finished Game of Thrones Blood and Gold. Amazing. The new series is on tonight.. probably on in US already? Can't wait!!
In the mood for something post-apocolyptic thoughComment

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
I'm currently reading A Game of Thrones because I got tired of half-worrying that certain friends of mine might strangle me in my sleep if I put off reading A Song of Ice and Fire for much longer. xD
In addition to that, I'm actively reading the following:
- The Child Thief, by Brom
- Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians, by Leon Takhtajan
- Introduction to Symplectic Topology, Dusa McDuff and Dietmar Salamon
and passively reading about twelve other books.
For those of you who might want a good science fiction book or ten to read: I highly recommend reading just about anything by Charles Stross. In particular, Glasshouse and his Laundry Files novels are favorites of mine and I can't stress enough how much everyone, ever, should read them...like now...NAO! DxComment

Just finished the Hunger Games trilogy and so now I'm back to my Kushiel books. I'm at Naamah's Blessing by Jaqueline Carey.�Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. And experience is often the most valuable thing you have to offer.�

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
^Juni, I'm working on Namaah's Kiss currently, between other books because I could honestly spend my life reading this series if I didn't force myself to read other stuff occasionally.
And mentioning other stuff. Sherrilyn Kenyon, a mainstream fantasy romance author for those who aren't familiar, just released a book called Cloak and Silence this week. I am amazed and so so proud. A mainstream romance author, who typically writes your typical heterosexual books, has finally released a homosexual, male on male, book. And it's awesome. Just got done reading this and I'm amazed.We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people. It's the evil among us who rule now. -Anne Bishop, Daughter of the Blood
I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

Re: Whats everyone reading now or read lately
About halfway through James Michener's "The Carribean." As I hoped, it really is fleshing out my understanding of that region's past. Next historical fiction I think I'll read is Edward Rutherfurd's "New York."If you want to be thought intelligent, just agree with everyone.Comment

RIP
I have never been across the way
Seen the desert and the birds
You cut your hair short
Like a shush to an insult
The world had been yelling
Since the day you were born
Revolting with anger
While it smiled like it was cute
That everything was shit.
