Making the best of the situation

Apr 14, 2010 00:03

I was right last night. I didn't feel up to going into work this morning. So, after a call to work, I went back upstairs, grabbed my H.P. Lovecraft collection and began reading. I specifically re-read "The Call of Cthlulu" and then just picked out a few stories at random until I fell back asleep ( Read more... )

Missed fencing last night. Frau Hau was too ill to look after the kids, but I think I had a dose of whatever it was myself.

Regarding comfort reads: have you sampled Harold Lamb yet?

No, but after your review, it's on my list of things to track down.

I've just read the 5th story - a Viking leading Normans into action against Saracens, and I just sat their swearing while the imagery ricocheted around my head.

The one dated element is the slight archaism of the language when the characters speak. (Dost, thee, etc). I think the publisher's site has excerpts - you can decide for yourself.

I've got three books I do need to finish . . . esp. since I owe feedback on all of them - Jim C. Hines's "The Mermaid's Madness"; Ari Marmell's "The Conquerer's Shadow" and Yasmine Galenorn's "Bone Magic".

But what the heck. What's another book on the Must-be-read pile, right?
