Reading binge verdicts
Nov. 18th, 2004 05:05 pmIt has come to my attention that between being frequently at less than 100% healthy, being in a country where getting books in English is most definitely not a problem, and having the county library 5 minutes away here, I've been reading a lot of deadtree books. More than I do in Poland - there, the books at hand are my personal collection, which I mostly know by heart, and I mostly satisfy my hunger for new brain fodder through fics, webcomics and ebooks. I don't buy more than three or so per month, and those mostly of authors I already know, or who come recommended.
It's time to spread the love.
( Verdicts on recent brain-food, part 1: Bernard Cornwell, Lois McMaster Bujold, Garth Nix )
Still to come: Richard Morgan, "Altered Carbon" and "Broken Angels", Guy Gavriel Kay "Lions of Al-Rassan", Neil Gaiman "Sandman: Endless Nights", Haruki Murakami (various including "Norwegian Wood"), Banana Yoshitomo "Arita", Roger Zelazny "To Die in Italbar", Raymond E. Feist "Magician", Connie Willis "Uncharted Territory", and possibly William Gibson's "Pattern Recognition" if I get myself to the bookshop across the river, where it's an euro cheaper than in Waterstone's.
Yes, I read too much :P
