Emerging From Beneath This Here Rock
Holy hell, it’s been a while. Apologies! Work travel has kicked me in the ass, but I’m still around.
Currently reading: Patrick Rothfuss’ The Name of the Wind. Review to follow in a couple hundred pages.
What’s on your nightstand/in your backpack/hidden under your pillow?
A Song of Ice and Fire (which, after the move, I’m having trouble getting back into)
and the Ball Big Blue Book of Preserving.
Riveting, I know…
Currently: Under the Banner of Heaven (skeeving me out, big time)
Pending: Olive Kitteridge (for book club)
Tad Williams’ Otherland series. Because teenage son has declared it his “favorite series evar,” and I want to re-read it in order to re-discover what I loved and to see it anew through his eyes.
I have the Ball Big Blue Book of Preserving on my bookshelf, too. >.> We haven’t had a garden in several years, but hey–it’s there just in case!
Been slowly working my way back through Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn. Unfortunately I forgot to take it with me to Philly, but I picked up a copy of Ender’s Game while I was up there. Good read!
It’s worth getting back into, Anna. FOR SRS.
I’m rereading the latest Scott Bakker, [i]The Judging Eye[/i], while I wait for a copy of Richard Morgan’s [i]The Steel Remains[/i] that I won in an online drawing to arrive.
Lauren, lemme know what you think of Rothfuss. I had, overall, very positive feelings but there were a few things I really did not like.
Jewben, I’m really hoping this subplot with the draccus goes somewhere…
Richard Hofstadter’s The American Political Tradition. I know, I’m a terrible fiction reader. Don’t judge!
