I'm reading "The Green Man" too! yay!

Also, American Gods (again), and Confessions of An Ugly Stepsister.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yay for synchronicity! :)

[danorsong.livejournal.com]

Yay american gods... almost done should be by tommorow. Then we can chit chat about it.

I am currently reading Confessions of a Shopaholic ~~I forget the author
Also I just picked up Hard 8 by Janet Evonvich

Tears of Rage by John Walsh. Not exactly what I should be reading while Kelsey is out of state, but....

[gothwalk.livejournal.com]

Marion Zimmer Bradley's Mists of Avalon, not having managed to read it since I was very small.

And the manual for Neverwinter Nights, which just rocks.

I finished Harry Potter #4, then read #2. I have to find #3 to re-read that one. It's in my house somewhere. =)

I brought the latest issue of Girl Genius in to work with me. Also the latest issue of Berlin, which has finally come out.

I've liked Phil Foglio ever since his "What's New?" strip in Dragon magazine, which you're probably too young to remember. I particularly like Girl Genius.

But: I think Foglio might be getting lazy in his old age. He doesn't bother to completely erase his pencils, so you can see the shadows of them in all his recent work. It's very irritating to me.

glenn5,
is that icon your "sim" ? it's hella cool.

Don't Let You Get You

[terracinque.livejournal.com]

I don't know what you mean by "sim." It's a headshot; the full image is this:



I built it at Land's End. People who've met me IRL can tell you how closely it resembles me; this was as close as I could get.

By the way, I've added you to my Friends list, so now your "Friend of" list is 70 instead of 69. I ended your 69.

Re: Don't Let You Get You

[dustyskinandall.livejournal.com]

It looks like a little character from "The Sims"... that's what I meant. It's cool...
anyway... thanks for ending the 69...it wasn't really getting me anywhere.

[terracinque.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, the Sims. I've heard of that game.

Thanks for the "hella cool," but don't be fooled by it. I'm not really this handsome.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yes, he really is that handsome. Don't listen to him.

[terracinque.livejournal.com]

Quiet, you.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Help, help! I'm being repressed! Now we see the violence inherent in the system....

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

I have all of the collected "What's New?" strips. Plus Xxxenophile. So there. :)

[terracinque.livejournal.com]

You put me in my place!

Today I brought in the latest issue of Catwoman, #8. It's brilliant. Ed Brubaker can bring it!

Greenman

Waiting on my copy to arrive from the SFBC. American Gods was excellent, I devoured that one on a plane trip to California last year, would love to see a sequel for it.

[eilonwy.livejournal.com]

The horrors of working in a bookstore... heh.
Just finished Jodi Picoult's Plain Truth and Keeping Faith. Am still reading The Pact because I haven't bought it yet, and have been reading it behind the counter when managers aren't around and customers are few. Heh. Am reading a book called, and this is silly, Instant Meditation because I think I could benefit. Am reading Diana Wynne Jones's Cart and Cwidder. Read a book on the history of undergarments last night, too, in preparation to mailing it to a friend. When I finish on the 'net today, I'll probably toddle off and start reading a trashy romance I bought yesterday called Black Silk even though I'm technically in the middle of Tipping the Velvet [turn of the century lesbian vaudvillians], Alison Weir's The Life of Elizabeth I, and Early Embraces II. Oh, and did I mention that I'm *supposed* to be reading all the plays of Shakespeare?

::Grin:: This bookstore thing? Gonna make me broke for sure.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I'm envious!

Tipping the Velvet sounds really interesting... Cart and Cwidder was great. Have you read anything else by her? She's uniformly wonderful...

[eilonwy.livejournal.com]

I *adore* Diana Wynne Jones, thanks to The Sane (corruptviridian) who introduced her books to me in college. I've read all the Chrestomanci books, I read Fire & Hemlock (first, actually, since it was a Tamlin/Thomas the Rhymer story), both the Howl books, Dark Lord of Derkholm and it's sequel (Year of the Griffin) and Archer's Goon. Actually, come to think of it, the first DWJ book I read was when I was about 12, it was Dog's Body and I sorta kinda borrowed/stole it from Kat (sugarpuss.) Heh.

I'll let you know how Tipping the Velvet turns out, when I get back to reading it. For some reason I got distracted. :)

Just one book right now

[songwind.livejournal.com]

I'm reading Hellstrom's Hive by Frank Herbert. I just finished Dorsai! for the 3rd or 4th time as well. I seem to have subconsciously started a "species manipulation" trend.

Re: Just one book right now

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Read "Falling Free" by Lois McMaster Bujold and "Murphy's Gambit" by Syne Mitchell next, if we're talking, like, genetic manipulation. Or sociopolitical manipulation, for the latter.

You wouldn't mind terribly if I added you to my friends list, would you? :)

Re: Just one book right now

[songwind.livejournal.com]

I don't mind one bit. :)

Re: Just one book right now

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Oh, good. I like you. :)

Re: Just one book right now

[songwind.livejournal.com]

I like me, too. I have a good time when I'm around. I like to be liked. Your journal is great, so I added you to my friends list as well.

Re: Just one book right now

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you! I never know if my journal is really fun to read or if poeople are just here for the sex posts. :) My life is blissfully dull at the moment, so I always think I must be awfully boring...
