books! i like books!
Currently reading The Red Pyramid (aka, the newest book by that guy who wrote the Percy Jackson series), and, negl you guys, I keep imagining it as an anime in my head. It's like a mix of the mecha and magical girl genres. It's really quite funny, and I wish it would happen for reals because it would by hysterically awesome.
Anyway. I'm liking the book a lot. It took me a while to get into the Percy Jackson books, and I have a strong suspicion now that a lot of that is because of Percy's narration; I like the alternate narration between the Kane siblings a lot more and neither Carter nor Sadie's "voices" annoy me like Percy's still sometimes does. (Though Sadie's British slang does annoy at times. Seriously, it's not wrong to call men something other than "blokes" you know. Also: pants, you're using it wrong.): After this it's back to the Percy Jackson series with the fourth book. It came in from the library a lot quicker than I thought it would, heh.
Also, I'm reading tRP on my new Sony Reader Touch! I got it last week, and I'm liking it a lot. I've been vacillating over getting an ereader or a tablet for quite some time now (umm, sorry to krazyazn01 who had to put up with all my questions during that time), but finally settled on the former. I'll probably get a tablet when my netbook dies (and there's more options on the market), but that hopefully won't be for a while yet. *crosses fingers* I actually wasn't planning on getting one until later this summer (because the Kobo isn't released until then, and that was one on my shortlist of readers I was interested in and I wanted to try one out before making a final decision), but then the Sony Readers was on sale and *flappy hands*
So! I have been going through Project Gutenburg and downloading free books! I haven't uploaded any of them yet, but I should get to that this weekend. Whee!
