Weather.

So I was going to go up to 'Tosca' today in Calgary, but there's a huge snowstorm. The worst of the year, I think. The roads are sheer ice and the snow is swirling around like those witches dancing in 'Macbeth', so we're staying home and I'm doing math homework and reading and (hopefully) drinking endless cups of tea

Ooooh, indoors and tea and snow - sounds so cosy! There's some weird weather going around for this time of this year... surely it ought to get warm soon?

What's your book about?

Ahh, the wonders of circle theorems... A right-angled triangle within a circle has some significance to do with angles or something doesn't it?

As I reply a couple of months late...

I hope it's going to get warm soon. We had really warm weather for about two days before God pressed the Randomise Weather Button and came up with two weeks of rain, but hopefully it's just about over. Feh, doesn't global warming suck?

Alphabet of Thorns is this amazing book about an orphan librarian who deciphers alphabets and translates them. She comes across this really mysterious book that only she can decode. And there's political intrigue, the obligatory romance, etc...

What about you? Have you read anything good lately?

I'm trying to read my way through all the books on my bookshelf which I've been given but never read. So I've finished Sophie's World, which I loved, but I've just finished forcing myself to read Anne of Green Gables which is horribly reminiscent of Little Women. I really don't like those books. But the next thing I've got lined up is called Darkness Visible, it's a biography of Philip Pullman. :)
