I read and LOVED room. I also saw Emma Donaghue speak at our local writer's festival and she is just adorable.
I don't think the squick factor is the point; it's really about Jack (the 5 year old) and his relationship with his mother, and this strange little world he lives in. I thought it was really well done.
I have The Book Thief on my shelves to read, but likely won't get it to it for a while. I'm reading The Princess Bride for the first time ever and loving it. (Yes, I've seen the movie, like, many many times).
Isn't it wonderful how Princess Bride the movie is encompassed by the book? It's like the movie's a drumstick and the book is a turkey dinner.
I've put The Book Thief aside to finish His Dark Materials but I'll get back to it soon.
Found
The Eyre Affair
at the thrift store for a dollar. It's being a very good read so far.
I really love that series, so much fun
FYI, that appears to be a link to an unofficial, probably technically illegal rip of the saga. Baen offers a small percentage of their books for free (and almost all of their books for reasonable eBook price with no DRM) on their website, but the entire Vorkosigan saga is not currently available for free.
Yeah, I saw that in the comments on IO9 after the fact.
Cryoburn does come with a disk with all the Vorkosigan stories, plus some commentary.
Btw, did everybody know there's an Irish Journal of Gothic and Horror Studies?
There are articles on Torchwood, Lovecraft, Pet Semetary and more.
Get your academic goth on!
The Cryoburn CD specifies that you may copy or share the e-books on the CD. The only restriction is that you may not charge for them.
