Yay for more deb readings! Was the other author Laura Lippman, perchance?
Brat Farrar
is my favourite by Tey, but
The Franchise Affair
runs a close second. Oh, and
Miss Pym Disposes!
sj, I liked
The Reader
, but I didn't feel particularly emotionally involved by it - and this at a time when (thanks to hormones) I cry at everything, including those Moveon.org commercials. OTOH, it could be that I'm just too woolly-headed from lack of sleep to appreciate a more demanding book right now.
Stupid things I have done this week thanks to sleep deprivation:
1. poured apple juice in my coffee.
2. tried to put two contacts in one eye (not admitting how long it took me to figure out what was wrong with my eyesight).
Dani, I adore all three of those - in fact I love everything she wrote - but I am The Daughter of Time's standard-bearer and cheerleadeer. Plus, damn near lifelong member of the Richard III anti-defamation corps, plus medieval historian, and between the two? I'm nuts for that novel.
Just read Donna Jo Napoli's Beast a retelling of Beaty and the beast. Really well done, and told more of the story before Belle. It was all from the Beast's perspective. Plus she is the head of the linguistics department at swathmore. Her last couple of pages on the language she used ( farsi ) and why she chose certain spellings was a lot of fun to read.
Beth, as the Typomeister supreme, may I say that I think Beatty and the Beast would make very interesting twisted RPF slash....
I was thinking Warren for pure snark value...
ita, either would work. They'd have to play it with no makeup, if they ever filmed it....
see, never correct typos -- they lead to fun
Stayed up too late last night reading "Atonement". Very excellent thriller, so far although I think if I told IM that, he'd think I said he drank toilet water.(And why did I think he wrote "Trainspotting?" Nuh uh.)
Hmmmm.
Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I want to share this article about Amazon reviews.
If it takes you to the sign-in page, you can use "salon" and "tabletalk", respectively, to read.
