The old thread is getting pretty full, so Smaug told me to start a new one.
Since I finally found it, I am re-re-re-re(I forget how many times I've read it)reading Neverwhere. I would have thought the end of the world is everyone's responsibility, wouldn't you? ~Death in Thief of Time Minister of Kraftwerk in the Realm of U & P, Order of the Pineapple with frond for advancement in Nap studies. |

Let me start off:
Along with Vol 2 of Sandman, Good Omens, which I must note is pretty amazing. |

it's your first time reading Good Omens JC?
lucky you! I adore that book...that may just be the third of my favourite three books! The other two i got out of the library this weekend (i've bought them both more than once but lent them both out...more than once!) so I am currently enjoying the goodness of PTerry's Nightwatch, and then onto Simon R Green's Shadows Fall. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Smaug, ~ You are an Accomptant. You keep track of the King's accounts, which is a fairly simplish job: his current holdings is always A LOT, and his expected revenue is always MORE. 'Sgood ta be da King. As long as there isn't a peasant uprising, you're likely to keep your head. Also, you're the only one in the office who knows how to use an abbacus. (Or multiply.) (Or add.) I prefer to live in a country that's small, and old, and where no one would ever have the NERVE to wear a cape in public, whether they could leap tall buildings in a single bound or not. |

Yeah, came to the party late. But I loved how Neil blended modern tech with the spiritual elements.

Starting The Snow Queen by Mercedes Lackey. Going into it unsure. Her Diana Tregarde books from the early 90s are my favorite urban fantasy books ever, but in the last 10 years it seems a lot of her books are more romance novel than fantasy book. Not a huge romance fan. Hope this one doesn't disapoint...

I gotta craving for Douglas Coupland, but I'm reading Miss Wyoming, and he's writing... well, he's writing like I would have done when I was little! It's all "he said/she said" and I don't like it!
I think essentially I just want to read Microserfs again for the first time  ____________________________________________________ tiny ball of rage. hilarious, condensed rage - Snazz I never really lost my virginity... it just sort of eventually wore off - Chris Addison Um...

I've always seen Good Omens as a Neil book, my bad. |

ah! yeah, that's really stupid distracting. really really. although it's no better if it takes effort to work out who's saying what. *sigh* still working on Women in Love. ~ We're just babies making up a game, if you're right.

Just finished A Feast for Crows, re-read Memoirs of a Geisha, and at some point today I'm going to start in on Anansi Boys.

Why, Mercedes, why? You were wonderful, dark, disturbing, and delightfully horrifying! Why turn to mush? Why? *sob*

I am reading The Year of Living Biblically, which is a great read, much better than I expected.
I just finished Foucault's Pendulum, which was great, and the City of Ember series, every book of which is worse than the one before. ---------------- Never stare into a car's headlights and freeze, because you'll either be run over or shot. |
