New Year's resolutions and such

Lucky most of those are really absorbing reads, so they just slip by. Oddly enough, I've only got about 50 pages left on Lady Chatterly...

Oh, and you should add 'The Left Hand of Darkness' by Ursula K. LeGuin. I think you'd really enjoy it. If you're not familiar with it, it posits a world that is gendered only during mating cycles, every individual capable of either sexual capacity, depending on their own cycle. Then, for funsies, it adds a normal human and some cloak-and-danger diplomacy.

If I've got time, I'll check it out. :)

How are you finding Lady Chatterley?

Not bad, and definitely not smutty.

Definitely not. XDDD One of my favorite books though, if only for the hilarity of it. I think the most surprising part of all was the language, which might not have been as bad back then as it is now, interestingly enough.

That makes it worse. XDD And even more hilarious. Oh, D.H. Lawrence.

I'm downloading the 1981 movie now. 8DD IT'S GOT GILES IN IT
