Funny thing about being ill: it drives me to rereading.
So, after a couple of days being unable to do much except dull websurfing and yesterday's random rereading of Tatyana Ustinova's romantic mysteries (random rereading involves jumping around and not reading bits you don't like much), today I went and reread Diana Wynne Jones's Witch Week. (partly inspired by reading DWJ2012 tumblr, I suppose).
Only, now I fret because apparently I lack a bunch of Chrestomanci books I wouldn't mind rereading too - did I just not buy them? I know they came out in Russian... And Russian online bookstores seem to be out of them. Maybe I should go stare at Aphrohead.
Also, House of Many Ways is out in Russian.
Also, I remembered why I was disturbed by Witch Week which was probably the first DWJ I read: Chrestomanci's initial behaviour towards the five that called them. Always seemed to me a bit unreasonable and not taking the situation in context. Though now I suppose it's just his character.
