Odd one out.
Dec. 17th, 2008 01:40 pmHave not been reading a whole lot lately as I've been in a mood to watch things instead. I re-read the first 6 books of the Sword of Truth series which is better read when I'm able to skim the parts that irritated me the first time around (see my previous rants).
I also read Martine Leavitt's Keturah and Lord Death, which I received from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
koyappi for last year's Atheist's Day. ^_~ It was a young adult novel and as such, I was able to read it over the commute to and from work, plus my lunch hour. For some reason, I thought this one was going to be different than other romantic tales of Death, but it wasn't. The story itself was simple in the way a myth is simple; there are rarely reasons for why people feel the way they feel; they just exist. In any case, I still enjoyed it very much, as romantic/angsty/cool personifications of Death are definitely My Thing.
And it was the perfect time to read it; after watching 5 very good episodes of Supernatural (with yummy yummy angst) and then the deliciously sexually deviant and romantic movie Secretary, it was a good chaser.
...and I definitely need to go find some good fic now.
I do so love Secretary. I can't help but love James Spader. I have a warm spot in my heart for the deviants he played in the late 80s, like Sex, Lies & Videotape, and Less Than Zero.
I am patiently awaiting copies of Jim Butcher and LKH's latest installments to become available at the library. It'll probably be another month or two, but I'm trying to avoid spending money unnecessarily. Speaking of which, 2.5 gifts down, 3.5 to go.
In other news, hockey is still taking up most of my attention. MATS SUNDIN? REALLY?!
