I am reading A Supposedly Fun Thing I Will Never Do Again by David Foster Wallace. It is one of the best so far I have read this year.

I love to haunt old bookstores and pick up classics I've wanted to read or
were published before I was born. This year, I'm thoroughly enjoyed:

THE DEFECTION OF A.J. LEWINTER - Robert Littell
ALL THE FOOLS IN TOWN ARE ON OUR SIDE - Ross Thomas
THE WYCHERLEY WOMAN - Ross Macdonald

Presently finishing THE MAN IN THE QUEUE - Josephine Tey

Part of the joy in reading old classics is appreciating how good
the authors were before MFA programs, writers groups, blog
postings, and writers weekends. They were good because they
developed their craft by themselves and excelled in their genre.

The Children of Odin - Nordic Gods and Heroes
by Padraic Colum

I have another myth book at home I just bought. I'm on a Norse kick...? :3 I blame it on Freyr and Beyla for entering my life. XD

I was reading Angel Song by er...two authors I can't remember. But it was interrupted by that.
I'm on Tumblr!

The blog died...but so did I...and now I'm alive again! OMG.

Recently finished You Wish by Mandy Hubbard, Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore, and Aurelia by Anne Osterlund. I'll likely move on to Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George or The Fairy Godmother by Mercedes Lackey.
