About Me
- Christine
- I often have a few books with bookmarks in them at once. I enjoy classics more than contemporary works of fiction, often read historical fiction, and love to get glimpses into other people's lives by reading memoirs and biographies.

Teh Vonnegut, of course! Saving my comments for Sunday, :).

I've got two chapters left in Fellowship. Hopefully I can finish that up tonight so I can move on to Two Towers. I've found a wonderful, old tree I can climb up and read in over here, so at least I don't feel quite so crabby about having to do homework on my trip.
I read "A Member of the Wedding".
That's Danika reading Tolkien in a tree in Oxford, people! Dig her!
And Sophia, what did you think of Member of the Wedding?
I haven't flailed on here about Shadows Return, so now's the time.
Total fangirling. I love Seregil and Alec. I love them so, so hard. Flewelling is a freaking evil genius. Thero...Thero is sheer, utter, complete win. Y'all, I am crazed about these books. Nerd alert ahoy.
Finished Fables and am on the second to last book of Sandman (thanks muchly again, Danika-person). I think I love Matthew. Like, a lot.
I liked the forward to the play in the version I was reading. It helped me clarify some ideas about the book. The story seemed very vivid in my mind - maybe because I read it as a play. It's interesting that there so little of the story is told in words, but it tells a huge story anyway - or is that totally confusing?
Dorothy Alison wrote the forward
Why am I baby bunny? Whats happening? Augh!!!
On page 35 of 1463 pages of Les Miserables. Might take me a while.
Finished Slaughterhouse (see you all Sunday) and decided to abandon Ehrenreich's "This Land is Their Land". I do like it but need to read it in small doses as it's so unremittingly grim that reading more than 30 minutes at a time makes me want to touch a wall (or a President). I've started "A Few Seconds of Panic", Stefan (Word Freak Fatsis' tale of his Plimpton-esqe attempt to play in the NFL. Of course he's 5'8", 170 lbs and 43 years old so it should be a rocky road.
I started reading "The Elephant and the Dragon" on the flight home from Chicago. Very interesting nonfiction about the economic rise in China and India. Knowing me, I'll get halfway through, then get distracted by something else.
Hello, there, Diana!
