elvendoll...and now our table is ready to be put back together whenever we wish to : )
and its prolly time to go off to bed, but i feel weird. i've re-picked up my old (good) habit of reading in bed before going to sleep, but today i've realized its also become a bit of a crutch. i recently finished good omens and have not yet picked a next book - and am now dreading the prospect of needing to go into that room, and into the bed *sigh*
perhaps mebbe pick up one of my short story comps for now.
and anyone wanna offer suggestions for my next book?
two books that i read recently that i really appreciated were ayn rand's atlas shrugged and joyce carol oates' black water. two most recent books i read were neil stephenson's snowcrash and good omens by neil gaiman & terry pratchett - and i thought there were both good, but they just didn't do that much for me...

four, actually...

happens. Compared to Rand, anyway.
The Last Unicorn -- Peter S. Beagle
The Neverending Story -- Michael Ende
Watership Down -- Richard Adams
Duncton Wood -- William Horwood
And of course there's Neverwhere, but I feel
quite certain you must have read that.

Date: 2001-08-13 03:40 pm (UTC)between preferring not exactly light reading & having had a diet of only schoolbooks for a long time, light reading / newer genres are relatively new to me. in fact, i could prolly list them all:
i had also started & put down the illuminatus trilogy (which isn't really light reading) and even cowgirls get the blues, and i should / probably will pick those back up at some point. it was also tempting to put the martian chronicles into that list, but it was school reading, and a had enough of the kind of stuff that hits me to not count as light reading...
