Re: Books and Literature
...I'm going to ignore the "favorite" questions here, because asking an English major for favorites is a dangerous, dangerous plan.
I'm between books right now (curse you, work!), but between Saturday and yesterday evening: Crichton's Airframe and Great Train Robbery (anyone who's entertained by Victorian England should really read the second of those), Carey's Kushiel's Mercy, and Bishop's Tangled Webs. 'cause I'm a total sucker for trashy dark fantasy novels... provided the author's name isn't Laurell K. Hamilton or Anne Rice.
I'm carrying around Guns of the South, by Turtledove, but I doubt I'm going to get a chance to sit down and read properly before the weekend. Sadly, I have yet to master the skill of knitting and reading simultaneously. Or sewing and reading.
Arreo can testify to the fact that I absolutely disappear into a book if I enjoy it. And get very, very pissy if someone tries to drag me out for less than an emergency. (Eating does not qualify as an emergency, dammit.)
...and thanks, TehSpaz, now I want to reread Strangers. :P

...man. China Mieville would own my soul if I let him. I need to actually make a shopping list for Half-Price one of these days. Him, Stephen Brust, more of Arthur C. Clarke, the rest of the Foundation series...
(I told you asking an English major these questions was a bad idea, right?)

I'm a book lover what can I say lol. Plus I'm an aspiring writer, so reading naturally is a love of mine.
