Oooh, I know! You could finish Pattern Recognition if you haven't already! Look at this much-belated nagging from multiple locations!

Seriously though, someday I am going to bombard you with a ludicrously lengthy list. For now, I'm just going to suggest Story of an African Farm by Schreiner. It's Late Victorian New Woman fiction, to simplify. Quite philosophical and hauntingly lovely.

And now that I've established my ability to read intelligent/literary/socially admirable things... YOU HAVE TO READ THE DRESDEN FILES! Seriously. They reminded me why I love reading. They are by Jim Butcher, and they're about the only openly practicing wizard in Chicago. They're a delightful mix of hard boiled detective fiction and slightly dark fantasy. And I would say more, but I don't want to spoil things for you in case you do read them.

(Also, since we're on the subject of things that make me actually consider typing words like "Squee!", have you seen this week's episode of Castle?)

I did see Castle, just today, and let me lift my voice to join yours in "SQUEE!". Oh my, that first scene made me so happy. That was...that was beyond wonderful. It was bouncing-off-walls kind of wonderful.


I need to finish Pattern Recognition!
