I just finished reading "The Life and Times of Gertrude Bell," written by Janet Wallach. Surprisingly enough it's a biography of my new hero, Gertude Bell.
She is one of the most awesome woman ever to have walked the earth in my opinion.

Ok, first things first....
1) I am a girl 2) I love history 3) Sometimes I like soppy love stories... So... I do like historical novels with hints of fiction best... Lately, I have just finished the entire Tudor series by Philippa Gregory... I would also recommend the trilogy the Cole Family by Noah Gordon. These comprises of 3 books: The Physician Shaman Dr Cole Aside from this trilogy, he also has another incredible book called "The Last Jew" . More info on all books here: http://www.noahgordonbooks.com/novels.htm I also like other stuff that is a bit darker, such as "Let the right one in" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_The_Right_One_In) or lighter stuff such as Harry Potter (the entire series) and The Twilight series, or just autobiographies, such as Slash's... ... I like a lot of different stuff, I guess... |

 ) and just started reading "Zachary's Gold" but am only 4 chapters in

Time and Again (1951) by Clifford D. Simak. Not as impressive as Way Station (1963) or City (1952/1981).

House of Leaves was garbage and had some pretty thin characters, I think Danielewski was just performing fellatio on himself and his ability to move text around on the page in funny shapes.
Makes me want to read VALIS again to wash myself clean. I'm reading Virginia Woolf's The Waves because I'm one of those retards who can read a book if it has nearly no plot at all because I love good prose.

I have reread once more "62/Modelo para armar" (62: A Model Kit), by Julio Cortazar. It's a great book and I think it's amongst the best novels from this author.

Just finished reading "Small Favor", the tenth book in The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher.
Fun stuff, really.

Waiting to get my hot lil hands on Pratchett's Nation. Pigggy: every tried the more hard-to-find stuff by LM Montgomery? The Emily series and the Chronicles of Avonlea. They show the true class of her talent, and I love the sheer emotive loveliness of it. Her other stuff is a bit contrived, though. I never liked Anne of Green Gables. Have you read any good sci fi lately? I recommend early Cherryh. Sunfall was mindbending. Also short stories by Ursula K. Le Guin. Especially the Fisherman of the Inland Sea. I'll try virginia woolf, because i found her a bit too depressing originally. I prefer c.s. Lewis's Surprised by Joy. Still haven't ploughed through the children of hurin, either. But i'll make a note to avoid house of leaves... I'll try the dresden files tomorrow.
