Stuff and other stuff
Sep. 28th, 2011 10:49 pmIt's possible that I slightly lost it at work this morning.
( Cut for more work stuff )
Perdito Street Station is finally done. Phew! Although it's a good book and I enjoyed it, I wouldn't say it's an easy book or one for casual reading. Many ideas, a lot of disturbing stuff and some very complex connections. Am I glad that I read it? Yes. Would I read it again? Probably, but not for a long time.
Do I want to read something much lighter next? Oh, yes.
I think that I'm too brain-fried for deep thinky things. Not that I want to wade through total candy, but something with some substance (that doesn't require deep thought) and lots of thrills is about where I am. Preferably with no disturbing imagery, thank you. My mind needs a rest.
Tonight I shall mainline more Downton Abbey. It's exactly what my brain needs.
I've been browsing around for fanfic. Would it be too much for authors to put a teeny summary on their stuff? I'm picky and if I don't have a hint about it, I'm not going to click through to see what it is even if it's in a fandom that I read.
Somehow, I have a feeling that in fifty years people will still be debating the merits of summaries and warnings on fanfic.
