Booklog 8: zombies and satraps and boats, oh my

Aug 30, 2012 21:58

August is nearly over, and I don't think I am going to finish any more books this month. (My new textbooks for September are here, and I am reading them and going GLEEEEE a lot. :D ) So, booklog.

Maaaan I always feel so crappy about how few books I read compared to you! I am supposed to be An Intellectual! XD XD

Ah but you are WRITING one, my dear! *hugs*

(also wow I read a lot of old-skool kid's lit this month, haha.)

Academia has destroyed my reading ability for sure. Though I am currently reading Howl's Moving Castle. So far it makes more narrative sense than the film XD

(Icon because Diana Wynne Jones.)

It DOES make a lot more coherent sense in the book! :D I love it. How are you finding it?

The Persian Boy, a huge part of my book world. One of my top 10 favorite books ever!

Have you read The Blythes Are Quoted, the unabridged version of The Road to Yesterday? It seems that Maud Montgomery had a change of heart about some of her earlier anti-pacifist sentiments as WWII began to dawn, and that's reflected in some of the framing narrative that was excised from the collection when it was originally published.
