I thought that I was in a book-bouncing phase....I read Hammered by Elizabeth Bear but then had no desire to read Scardown or Worldwired. [I am only now to the point where I think I can try to read her books objectively.]

I tried reading Nancy Farmer's The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm for beer_marmalade and for some reason, I just can't keep going - I really dislike it and I don't know why.

But on Wednesday I breezed through Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, and now I am 100 pages into Kushiel's Dart which I like a lot, but is quickly becoming a "don't read on the bus" book.

I watched the movie "Heathers" last night and I don't have much to say about it except that I loved it a lot. I think Winona Ryder is one of my favorite actresses.

Lastly, I went to request some Buffy DVDs from the public library and was pleasantly surprised to see how many people currently have discs checked out or requested. Buffy lives!

Oh man, I am struggling to get through The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm, too. I think I might have enjoyed it more as a teenager than I do now.

I'm super excited you're reading the Kushiel book! And Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is one of the best books I read this year. Or last year. Whenever I read it. It's an awesome book.

Yay for Buffy!

And Heathers. "Corn nuts!"

Sorry. I watch more TV and movies than I read books, so that's mostly what I have to contribute to this comment.
