Still working through "Last of the Mohicans" (dagnabit!) and for relief I'm reading "Angela's Ashes" which is absolutely brilliant. I read it in the bath so that if I start to cry I can chalk it up to the steam. ;)

After much anticipation, I finally got 'round to reading the new Jasper Fforde novel, "Something Rotten" (the fourth in the "Thursday Next" series). To put it very bluntly, it stunk. Rife with cliches and outright stea…

I need to read this for class and I am literally falling asleep over it... read 90 pages in 8 hours today because I kept dropping off! I guess there's just too much landscape in it for my tastes, or maybe it's because I…

Can't due to low blood pressure... last time I donated it took them nearly an hour to get a pint out and I almost fainted. Which ticks me off, because I liked giving blood. :(

If I'm *Very* lucky, I might get through the prescribed reading for the week in time to take another chunk out of "Last of the Mohicans" (also for the course). No fun books on Sunday, I'm afraid... :(

It's also (fact-based) fiction, about Bathory and her descendants - terrific gripping suspense. I preferred Codrescu's "Blood Countess", but Gordon's is terrific too.
I have it in paperback but it's impossible to fin…

I actually got sucked into the hockey and forgot to check back - oops! At any rate, this long weekend has been about 50/50 in terms of good / bad... but I have managed to catch up on some sleep, so not a total washout.

I'm loving Empire Falls, and (so far) HATING 451... I thought I had read it before, but I don't recall it at all and it's just too too bizarre. I will give it the 67-page try (100 less your age, right?), but so far I do…
