Today: Klingsor's Last Summer, Child's Soul and Klein and Wagner by Herman Hesse, Grœnlendinga saga and half of The Glass Bead Game. Tomorrow, finishing TGBG and reading some Thomas Mann, methinks. I'm in a Germanic mood.

Oh my god - isn't it just! (The lifesaving procedure - um.) I had a noodle on their 'worst covers' section and was seriously tempted to buy a couple, just to see if they lived up to their covers, but I shall take your advice and just read the reviews instead. The only actual romance novel I have read in recent years (beyond all the slash I read on the interwebs) is this, where the contents really didn't measure up to the promise of the cover! The only time I have read het romance* was about 20 years ago, when I was trapped for a week in a room with the only reading material being a stack of Women's Weekly story collections left on the windowsill. It was... educational, but very samey. *ETA: ie the only time I have read books marketed as romance, rather than, say, Austen or thrillers or plain old fiction or whatever, which often have tons of romance in them, and where romance is often the point anyway. Hrm. *thinks about definitions* This message has been edited. Last edited by: Hive, *********************** There once was a bard of Hong Kong Who thought limericks were too long. - Gerard Benson. |

I just finished Angels in America part 1. It was okay. Definitely in your face.

King's Counsellor - Abdication and War: The Diaries of Sir Alan Lascelles, edited by Duff Hart-Davis.
Sir Alan was Assistant Private Secretary to King George V, Edward VIII, and George VI, and became Private Secretary to George VI in 1942.  "The other night I dreamed that King George VI was dead, and that Helen Hardinge had somehow or other got herself proclaimed Queen of England, and that I was detailed to go and tell her that it wouldn't do at all; and when I did this, all she said was, 'You see, I am really Queen Mary,' and I said, 'Oh very well' - words to that effect, and woke up. Last night I dreamed that Eisenhower came to stay with us, and he insisted on being put to sleep in the dog kennel, with a collar and chain about his neck." - Sir Alan Lascelles, 19 February 1980 |

Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk. Good so far. Strange, but good.

Sorry, Hippie, just noticed this. It didn't impress me. I couldn't get into it. It's on my list of "things to try again when I have more of an attention span." ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip.

That's the one where the pages count backwards, isn't it? "Strange, but good" is about right. ---------------------------- "How do you get from here to the rest of the world?" |

Yeah. I think the idea is they're counting *down*.

That is indeed the idea.
I remember, I read that book in 7th grade. I loved the bit with...(spoiler, kinda, not really? It's vague)the super bowl (fin spoiler) That was a favorite, I still remember it. |

Finished Survivor. It was just as messed up at the end as at the beginning. Yeah, Alex, that part was good, but I think my favorite was them hitchhiking in houses (that's not a spoiler, is it?) I got Diary out of the library, but I'm going to wait a bit before I read it.
Right now, I'm reading issue (book?) 9 of Fables (Sons of the Empire) . On tap is Reserved for the Cat by Mercedes Lackey. ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip. And I'm not so sure about the turnip. ~~ Terry Pratchett |

I am currently reading Pocho. Again it is for school. It is okay so far. I doubt it would hold my interest if i didn't have to read it.
