Orcs.

Heh, in my desire to post quickly I neglected to say what I'm reading, which is "A Storm of Swords." I'm just about where the events of season 3 end for every character except Jaime and maybe Sam. It's the first time I'll be ahead of the show, yay!

An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution of the United States by Charles Beard. It's an ebook and the formatting is kinda borked (like, the footnotes show up as regular text in the middle of unrelated paragraphs, which is annoying as fuck, but it's pretty interesting.

When I finish with that I'm going to be giving Dodger by Terry Pratchett a try.

Mythago Wood (thanks to the person here who... uh... well, said that they hadn't enjoyed it, but they did inspire me to check it out, so). I was liking it a lot, and I think there's a lot of really, really interesting stuff in it - I'm definitely not finding it dry - but there are some descriptions of one of the female characters that are at least a little... disquieting. The author just can't shut up about how attractive and raw and earthy she smells. It's really weird, honestly. But other than that weirding me out a little, I think it's really interesting so far.

The Golden Compass.

arcadia snips and the steamwork consortium.

frigging brilliant free e-book

Hakaba Kitaro!

...And I'm currently reading a bunch of information about deep web hitmen. Because I've been writing about one.

The Cuckoo's Calling by JK Rowling, Divergent by Veronica Roth, and the Fire-Us Trilogy by Jennifer Armstrong and Nancy Butcher.

I just received them yesterday, but I have Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, translated by Alfred Birnbaum. This is an earlier edition, from the early nineties, which is currently out of print - the current edition was translated by Jay Rubin, and his work leaves me wanting.

So I suppose it's like a re-read but not quite.

shades of grey by jasper fforde. it's good but weird

Perelandra by C.S. Lewis. So far I'm finding it boring as fuck, and a huge disappointment after the first book in the series (which was excellent).

I just finished Suspect by Robert Crais. Excellent piece.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz. It's a YA novel that explores the friendship and sexuality of two teenage boys in 1980s Texas.

Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street

I was trying to find library books which I could check out onto my Kindle; I don't remember what I was looking for at the time, but when it wasn't available this popped up on the list of very vaguely similar titles in stock. It's a pretty good read thus far, but I'm starting to wonder how much longer it's going to spend on the histories of the major players involved and when it's going to actually get into the development and history of the show itself.

Just sat down and reread The Little Prince. ~~Now I need to figure out if the person whose birthday I bought it for has read it or not, because rereading it has made me want to share it with him even more than I did before.~~

Hesse: Siddhartha
Brit Mandelo (ed): Beyond Binary: Genderqueer and Sexually Fluid speculative fiction.

Just finished Bujold: Paladin of Souls, and Wodehouse: Right Ho, Jeeves.

Still reading dune! I like it but it's slow going XD

I have three pre-WWII nonfic books, and another nonfic book about Big Nutrition (which is so far reasonably conspiracy-nut-free though the day is young) open on my ereader, as well as Prelude to Foundation, although I haven't looked at that one since last year. Am rereading in hardcopy (that's physical books, yo) Osler's Web and Herovit's World.

Trying to decide if I should finish every book on the ereader I've half-started (one of the problems with ebooks, they don't pile up accusingly), polish off the "to be read" hardcopy pile I have had kicking around for longer than I want to admit to myself, or download something recent from the library. Or reread something I've read a dozen times already, but have mysteriously forgotten (my memory is distressingly not what it used to be--or maybe it's just that ebooks don't stick like hardcopy books do, for some reason).

Beauty and the Beast

bc I am a completist, this means reading the novelization of the tv show (the original good one w ron perlman), Beauty by Robin McKinley, Rose Daughter also by Robin McKinley, and whatever other version they've got at the librart

King of the Murgos by David Eddings.

I'm halfway through The Earthquake Bird by Susanna Jones, and I still haven't decided if I like it or not.

Starting Harriette Arnow's The Dollmaker

Gillespie and I, by Jane Harris. Would probably seem boring to a lot of people (especially at first) but it's actually one that I've been finding hard to put down.
