Books and other things.

So far I have completely pwn3d my reading challenge to myself, and I’m about to do so again, because I just discovered that Stephen King published an omnibus of his first three novels, Carrie , Salem’s Lot and The Shining in one collection. Which means I need only order one book and it will count as three toward my reading goal.

In other book related news, you would think that I would not be enjoying Jane Yolen’s Sister Light, Sister Dark because already I have encountered an OMG superspecial baby girl that will save the world, and there are telepathic bonds involved. However, I’m actually enjoying this book. Yolen’s writing style is completely captivating, and she is telling a surprisingly grim story. We’ll see how I feel about the book after I get further in, but another thing I’m digging is the fact that Yolen includes faux-historical notes and academic documentation throughout, making it seem as though the story she’s telling really is part of a history of some other, fascinating place.
