I was really too late to start the 50 Book Challenge last year, but I'm going to try it this year instead ( Read more... )

I can't believe I'm updating Livejournal this early on a Monday morning. It shouldn't be allowed. I should still be in bed.

Sadly, there's even worse news. I think I'm becoming a cricket fan. I didn't mean to be, but I ended up watching the Ashes on Saturday evening at about 1 in the morning and I was sad that England were losing pitifully. And ( Read more... )

I'm kind of fearful of the fact that they're making The Wee Free Men into a film. It's one series that I had hoped would be left alone, because they just can't do a Discworld film. It's ... wrong.

I have to get my hands on a copy of The Wolves of Calla or I'm going to kill myself. Re-read The Wastelands and Wizard and Glass this weekend, and they never fail to amaze me. Stephen King is an absolute genius, he really is. The concepts behind the Dark Tower are fantastic - and the links to the other books! Most obviously the Stand at the end of ( Read more... )
