Shots fired in attempt to get Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince ahead of release date.
We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Craziness.
OK, I'm done with Smoke and Shadows. Any Tanya Huff fans around who haven't bought a copy yet and would like one?
What series is that in, Matt?
What series is that in, Matt?
I'm not Matt, but I can tell you that it's tangential to the Blood series, in that the main character is Tony, who is Henry's sometime partner/food source.
(sorry, if that's not coherent, I'm a little tired)
OK, I read Curse of Chalion in one day, and have just ordered Paladin of Souls. Damn. I'd given up on there ever being good fantasy again.
Memory jog: This article [link] reminds me of a short story where this guy builds a dancing automaton, and its partner can't get out of its embrace and dies. Sort of a modern Red Shoes. Is this familiar to anybody? I thought it was maybe M.R. James or Le Fanu.
Raquel! I also read The Curse of Chalion all in one piece yesterday.
I picked up Paladin of Souls this weekend and got through about half on the plane (or in various airports).
I started it at lunch today.
Has anyone here read Wilson by Davind Mamet? I'm 63 pages into it, and, well, we're not getting on so good. Is it worth it to continue? Will I actually get something resembling an idea of what the Hell the Toll Hound et al are?
