Virtual housekeeping

[winter]

A very happy birthday to both artela and moustachios :)

In other news, my e-mail works again, and I am going to vivisect my hosting company on a medieval examining table if they pull off one more stunt like that.

I also have nearly 5,000 words of a Coldfire fic for some reason. Woe is me.

Meme from dyoklako:

List five (5) books that you have read and liked. List another five (5) that you plan/will to read. Then list five (5) more that you have read and didn't like and another five (5) you do not plan to read at all. cut and paste the instructions and your own list on your lj/blog.


Read and liked, recently:
1) C.S. Friedman, the Coldfire trilogy (Black Sun Rising, When True Night Falls, Crown of Shadows)
2) Elizabeth Kostova, The Historian
3) Anna Kańtoch, The Devil on the Tower
4) Georgette Heyer, Sylvester (shut up!)
5) C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia

Planning to read:
1) Goscinny and Sempé, The New Adventures of Little Nicholas
2) Frances Wilson, The Courtesan's Revenge
3) Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra
4) J. Sheridan LeFanu, Carmilla
5) Terry Pratchett, Wintersmith

Read and didn't like, recently:
1) Georgette Heyer, Cousin Kate
2) Susan Fromberg Schaeffer, The Snow Fox
3) Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha
4) Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky (second attempt, still blah)
5) Philip K. Dick and Roger Zelazny, Deus Irae

Do not plan to read at all:
1) Anything about Anita Blake after Narcissus in Chains
2) Any Star Wars Extended Universe book, ever
3) Anything by Hemingway. Read two, enough to tell I hate it
4) Any new Nora Roberts. Plot rehash deja-vu
5) Prince of Tennis, in any shape or form

I've just started Carmilla, since there's no time like the present, and I am enjoying it immensely :)

good for you! i hope you'll be able to get other works by Sheridan LeFanu as he is a better writer than Bram Stoker even if it is harder to look for his works but they're worth it. :)
