My reading list.
Posted by Shannon C. on February 12th, 2006 filed in book reviews, lightning reviewsI want to make sure I keep track of what I am actually reading and I have not been, so here:
1. To Ride Pegasus - Anne McCaffrey (which I blogged about)
2. Pegasus in Flight - Anne McCaffrey (which surprisingly was a lot better.)
3. Live from Golgotha - Gore Vidal (wonderfully biting social satire)
4. An American Werewolf in Hoboken by Dakota Cassidy (ebook) (Very amusing and erotic romance)
5. A Storm of Swords - George R. R. Martin (OMG!)
6. The Twinkie Squad - Gordon Korman (a relic from my early teens that my mom read to me but never finished. I still found it hillariously amusing.)
7. Weetzie Bat - Francesca Lia Block (A reread, and I didn’t really feel the magic of the world she creates quite so much this time around.)
8. Baby Be-Bop - Francesca Lia Block (OMG I loved loved loved this book. It doesn’t quite have the same tone as Weetzie Bat, and is markedly less cheerful, but it’s also tackling coming out as gay, and the problems that entails. It was beautiful and surreal and nearly made me cry.
Currently I intend to finish reading the other books in Block’s series of loosely connected novels. I’m also reading Zenna Henderson’s Ingathering which is her collection of The People stories, and am nearly done with another old collection of the year’s best fantasy and horror. I should make a note that this second collection was much easier to get through, because the reader was extremely engaging, and actually could act.
