Wednesday - oops: Thursday Reading Meme

Nov 16, 2017 17:13

Justice League premieres today. I - expect to go see it, but not today. Sometime next week. From what I've heard, it's not a movie I feel a particularly urgency to go see.

Oh, and I voted! So on election day, I can just lean back and not bother to go to the polling station at all. Honestly, I don't understand why a higher percentage don't letter vote. It's so nice and easy and stress-free.

Also, I wrote a new fanfic: Where The Wild Things Roam, which is the sequel to the sequel that robininthelabyrinth wrote for my centaur!Mick Rory in the old west AU fic. It's got Barry Allen the naive Pinkerton and a couple of wendigos on top of the Coldwave.

What I've recently finished reading

Mark Millar: Avengers vs. New Ultimates: Death of Spider-Man
I should just stay away from the Ultimates 'verse.

Dorthe Chakravarty: Jo: Carlsbergfruen, som gik sine egne veje
I confess, I don't think I'd have liked Jo Jacobsen. But she's an interesting person to read about - the high society wife who got a divorce and ended up fighting as part of early feminism, writing very scandalous novels, and being part of the pre-WWII sexual revolution. Also, she managed to regularly make a bunch of friends and then alienate all of them again.

What I'm reading now

Neal Stephenson's "The Rise and Fall of DODO (yes, still - no comment), Siri Pettersen's Evna, where the Dreyri are one of the few fantasy warrior people who a movie version would have a good excuse to send to war in leather bikinis, and Forladt by Christina Vorre, which almost makes me want to go island hopping.

What I'm reading next

We'll see.

Total number of books and comics read this year: 173
