Lots of random reading going on this weekend, and I thought I would share the list, so you all could buy them and Amazon could give me money (or just so you could know what I'm reading!)
I started off reading Villette
by Charlotte Bronte, but it was creeping me out, so I switched to A Song of Stone by Iain Banks. Mistake. This is about as dark as his books get, and after The Wasp Factory I'd have said his books couldn't get any darker. So I put both of those on hold to read something a little more fun, Neil Gaiman's latest, Anansi Boys. This is in the style of American Gods, but slightly less obscure. I plowed through it in the course of an afternoon, and then switched to some serious fluff: Avalon High
by Meg Cabot. Actaully, this wasn't quite as fluffy as you might expect (well, as I expected), in that it tells the Arthur story, which isn't always that light and fluffy, actually. Any book which references Le Morte D' Arthur can't be all light and fluffy, right? I'm a little concerned what Sasha's going to think, as the main character's parents are medieval scholars. We'll see.
In the not-too-distant future, assuming UPS loves me, I'll be reading Wine and War : The French, the Nazis, and the Battle for France's Greatest Treasure, which tells the story of French winemakers during World War II.
