Recently bought Lemony Snicket's "Poison for Breakfast". I haven't read Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler works in years. Haven't started the book yet, but starting it soon.

I'm rereading King's Fool. Surprised it was written in 1959, I thought it'd been published in the last decade but nope.

I am reading A Master of Djinn and.... I mean, it's fine so far, I don't dislike it at all. "Mystery set in an interesting SFnal world" is a classic plot structure of a reason, readers clearly like that, and this is a fine example of that structure so far. But I feel like I was kind of expecting more based on how many awards it was nominated for. I'm kinda baffled about what people who nominated it for awards saw in it, at least so far.

Reading 'The Charioteer' by Mary Renault - one of several books I got with my b-day book gift card. Next up will be...'The Group' by Mary McCarthy.

Also re-reading the Harry Potter series, and realized i'm missing two of the books. Sheesh.

How's the reread of HP going? Does it stand up?

Re: Books

[tabaqui]

I would say yes? I do skip over some parts, like all the villain-monologuing scenes. And Dumbledor is more sympathetic (though still annoying).

The rest is fine, it seems. Even more infuriating, really, in terms of adults being stupidly oblivious/overly protective in really dumb ways.

Re: Books

DA, but which parts hold up well? So far I'm getting that you're skipping over about a third of it, find one of the main characters annoying and are infuriated by how stupid all the adults are. That sounds like a thumbs down to me.

Re: Books

[tabaqui]

A third? I don't think so. It's mostly a few pages here or there when we have Voldemort blah blahing at someone; something I tend to skip in most books or movies the second time around, because it's always so frigging boring.

I was infuriated by the adults the first time around, too - who wasn't? I'm still enjoying it, so it's really a YMMV kind of thing.

Began reading Venus In Furs by Ritter von Leopold Sacher-Masoch.

What do you think of it?

Re: Books

Just started it, so no real opinion of it yet.

A horror anthology called Mouthful of Birds. If you are love short, creepy stories, you will love this.

Re: Books

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh, definitely want to find that, then!

I've got a flash fiction anthology and the Princess Bride.

Re: Books

The Glass Universe, about the women who worked for the Harvard Observatory cataloguing stars back in the day.

Re: Books

[dancingmouse]

I have a LONG list of books I want to read (Wheel of Time, Horatio Hornblower, Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire, The Shadow Campaigns, A Brother's Price, etc.) but every time I go to pick up a book lately, I'm either too tired or too distracted to read. Sometimes I think I'm going to have to wait until I retire to start reading again.

Re: Books

I just finished re-reading The Martian

Re: Books

[(Anonymous)]

I read a few books of Feist's Riftwar series like 10 years ago and I'm rereading them now. Apparently I skipped over significant portions of the story the first time through and I'm having a blast.

Re: Books

I SHOULD be reading that collection of Phillip K. Dick short stories I bought but instead I'm stuck on media studies shit. Rn I'm working through a book about punk music's influence on pop music through the late 70s to 90s and a book about feminist film theory.
