Buh?

I just finished yet another audiobook in the massive string I burn through while I work. I listened to the Great Reveal at the End twice, and hell if I know why the female lead hated the male lead so. *scratches head*

Maybe I'm just not old and world-wise enough to get it yet.

Also, it's rather odd to read a book where there's no mystery to solve, no dashing adventure or agonizing romance, no quest, no fighting, no point at all. Just...life, in all its boring progression.

I kept waiting for something to happen. I suppose it did, what with the Great Reveal at the End, but all I get out of it is my icon and subject up there.

No wonder I prefer speculative fiction.

So. Guess who is coming down with Con Crud after all? This sucks. Claymore is due on Monday, so that's all I'm lettering until it's done. 5 pages left, including the current one. At least the end is in sight, and nothing harder than yellow left. Wheeee.

I think I'm going to listen to some straight-up fantasy next. Give me a good quest any day, with some lovely UST to spice things up. Yay!
