Book rec post! Because it occurs to me that I haven't done one in ages, and also a friend was recently asking me about serial killer books, which reminded me of book recommending in general. (After denying that I read many serial killer books, I examined my shelves and discovered that I actually read a shit-ton of them, which, slightly disturbing. ( Read more... )

Hello! Hopefully I will soon finish this KHR fic I've been tinkering with...FOREVER. It's a Hana fic, and all I have to do is finish editing. *crosses fingers*

Meanwhile, people have posted a list of books all over lj, and I never could resist a list of books. XD

I hear this is an NPR survey for the top 100 Sci-fi/Fantasy books. Heh. I used to work ( Read more... )

...in a good way! :D

So the overly ambitious KHR fic is, at long, long last, in beta. YAY. Now all I have to do is finish crazy!Ed, and then...well, then I'll instantly bog myself down in a million other projects, but at least they'll be DIFFERENT PROJECTS.

Meanwhile, book recs!

( The Vorkosigan Saga )

Real life and I have nothing further to say to each other (this week, I swear to God, RL is fired), so now turning to literature!

These books are excellent in themselves, but they also force you to read other books after them. You know the type. You set them down and must immediately run to the bookstore and buy another book to see what all that was ( Read more... )

 
KIND OF IN A DELIRIOUSLY GOOD MOOD RIGHT NOW. THOUGHT I'D SHARE.

Crazy!Ed...is in beta. FINALLY. yay.

In totally unrelated news, I passed the JLPT (only 3, but even so) and don't really know what to do with myself. Run in circles, perhaps. Rec manga. Bother everyone who has the misfortune to know me with my uncontrollable glee. That kind of thing. : ( Read more... )

Today, author recommendations! I won't say I want to be any of these people, because they've all had lives which were varying degrees of miserable, but I would like to be as all-around cool as they are (or were). I'd surely like to be able to deal with life this well. And, hey, write crazy fantastic stuff while I was at it.

( W. Somerset Maugham )

Fantasy recs! Because the sci-fi recs are lonely without them.

As aforementioned, though, no dragons. It's sad. Once upon a time I never read a book without a dragon in it. And, hey, Naomi Novik, Joanne Bertin, Tad Williams--I love them still! Maybe I'll have a separate dragon post.

Um. Moving swiftly on.

I FINISHED SOMETHING. IT IS IN BETA. YAY.

So now I'm on babble-mode, and may as well also post book recs, WHAT, logic has no place here.

Science fiction! Just because. Um, the Vorkosigan saga should totally be on this list, but I have plans for it elsewhere and at a later date. ilu Lois McMaster Bujold.

These are the opposite end of the spectrum from the comfort books.

The three most messed up books I have ever loved.
