Я бы с куда большим удовольствием почитала такое, чем большинство современных книг. Вот эту особенно, причем со слэшем плиз. In this story, a cartographer who was blessed by the gods is forced to work with a righteous beastmaster. What starts as contempt becomes love - all thanks to someone writing a book. It seems a necromancer will bring them even closer together. Хотя кузнец, поклоняющийся запретным богам, тоже многообещающ.
Ха, я практически во всех этих сюжетах автоматом подозревала слэш. :))) С другой стороны, вполне можно потренировать воображение и феминизм, представляя себе прекрасную грозную кузнечиху или отважную изгоя (изгойку?). :)
А это явно какой-то роман Чайны Мьевиля - The story is about a vicious scribe. It takes place on the body of a creature so large people think it's a world. The story climaxes with longing. The role of technology in society is a major element of the story. Ну, разве что звучит слишком нормально для автора, написавшего это: An inexplicable event has occurred at the British Museum of Natural History - a forty foot specimen of giant squid in formalin has disappeared overnight. Additionally, a murder victim is found folded into a glass bottle. Various groups are interested in getting the squid back, including a naive staff member, a secret squad of London police, assorted religious cults, and various supernatural and mostly dead criminal elements. The wondrous squid represents deity to the Church of Kraken Almighty. Did they liberate their god, or could it have been stolen by a rival cult? The only thing that all agree upon is that the fate of this embalmed kraken is intimately tied to the End of the World.
Вообще, подобные аннотации заставляют меня думать, что все-такие никакие компьютерные генерации не сравнятся с тем, что может зародиться в человеческой голове (в хорошем смысле). :))) Но в плохом, к сожалению, тоже. Но, в любом случае, компьютер по-прежнему только подражает заворотам людских мозгов. :)
