feverish blogging

So I'm currently laid up in bed with glandular fever (yay for laptops!) and I thought I'd make a list of the things that I've read over the last couple of months that I enjoyed or found interesting.

• Gabriel’s Angel
• Summer Pleasures etc
• Everything’s Eventual
• Snow, Glass, Apples
• House of Leaves
• Coraline
  
• Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
• Tangled Webs
• The Shadow Queen
• The Sandman vol 1

Fruits Basket is coming to a close soon...
Host Club has a new volume out soon too. Should really get a move on that.

No movies, because I can't remember what happened in a movie that I only watched once a couple of months ago. But when they come out on DVD perhaps...

• Monsters vs Aliens
• Revolutionary Road
• Watchmen
• X-Men Origins: Wolverine
• Star Trek

Wall-E

We take a break from books and turn to a movie today: Wall-E.

Born In...

Nora Roberts' Born In... Trilogy

I enjoy Nora Roberts’ trilogies for their characters more often than the plots. This one was a bit bland compared to her later ones, but still intriguing enough to capture me for a couple of days.

Lords and Ladies

Lords and Ladies by Terry Pratchett

This was the third Terry Pratchett book I’ve read – and I had to pick one of the few he says isn’t stand-alone. He recommended that it be read after one of the Witches of Lancre books (I forget which). I found the book to be alright as a stand-alone book, but it would have been more enjoyable if I knew more about the characters from before, the witches especially.

Hearts in Atlantis

Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King

A collection of short stories that are just vaguely linked with each other, with an overriding theme of a particular generation that failed to fulfil their potential, according to King. Naturally, it was the connection with The Dark Tower that drew me – I wanted to know more about Ted’s “little vacation”.
