What rarely shows in my LJ, for some reason...

is that, after losing my great job with the German National Library this February, which ironically prevented me from reading much (well, from reading novels, anyway - it did* allow me to read more than 300 comics in the two years that I worked there. *g*), I have started to read prodigiously again. Well, relatively prodigiously, anway -

I particularly recommend the Eyre Affair and Only Forward; those were two of the more insane, mind-boggling reads I've had in recent years. *g*

Excellent! I picked up a copy of the Eyre Affair for cheap, but haven't been able to make up my mind as to whether or not to read it. I shall have to give it a try now, once of course I've finished a few more books. :D

Well, I found it extremely fun to read.

However, my mother didn't like it at all, and I can see why - it is full of extremely absurd concepts, so if you like your fantasy based to some degree in reality, you may find it a bit too weird. I just happen to really like extremely weird stuff. :)

Dude you read the Eyre Affair!

I love those books - they get better as they go on (in my opinion).

Though I was saddened and utterly confused to learn that the author is apparently strongly anti fanfic. Which seems...ludicrously hypocritical. I'm trying not to let it affect my love of his books.

Tsk.

The silly man.

But, yeah. As long as the books continue to be good, he can believe whatever stupid thing he wants to, as far as I'm concerned. *g*
