Reading List
Read:
1) Hacking Gmail by Ben Hammersley (a little over my head in most places, but even the little things I picked up were worth it.)
2) The Courtesan by Julian Justiss (the first romance novel I've ever seen with a woman with a sword on the cover - sure it's not the first ever, but first for me.)
3) Growing Season: Life Lessons from the Garden by Arlene Bernstein (this one is going to Jenn.)
4) Prince of Danger by Amanda Scott
5) House Poor: Pumped-up Princes, Rising Rates, and Mortgages on Steroids by June Fletcher (while I think we'll be okay when the bubble bursts, the patterns and consequences intrigue me. The section on percent returns on remodels was especially helpful in making me understand I should not remodel unless I'm doing it for me.)
6) Lord John and The Private Matter by Diana Gabaldon. (Thanks to Carla for introducing me to her work when we first met, years ago now. Maybe a little bit of sympathy for John. Diana's characters are imperfect in a very real sort of way.)
Just got a bunch of American Indian books from Jenn - don't know exactly where I'm going next. Already reading Great Speeches of Native Americans or Speeches of Great Native Americans or something like that. They were orators, of course, so really good at it - and you can see that in the ones people bothered to write down.

Got to get Wicked finished before my birthday trip. About 200 pages in, and wow, it seems much different than the musical, which doesn't diminish my enjoyment of either of them.
And I am just glad to be on a 6/month streak by mid February. Even with school, I feel like I haven't done all that poorly on the reading. IM is having to suffer for it some, but that's probably a good thing for me and the poor folks I blabber at online.

Marketing Trend
So I was at Confusion and I was telling the gentleman whose book keep me up late last night that the last time I'd picked up a book based solely on the cover was Kushiel's Dart. The cover art caught my admittedly-drawn-to-pretty-half-naked-women eye, and I picked it up. (I don't think I mentioned it was right next to Freedom and Necessity, which had been filed under Bull, which I went to buy and is why I saw it in the first place, funny enough).
I loved that book, and it would have taken me longer to find it if it hadn't been for the woman in a... sheet(?) on the cover.
So, no sooner am I back to work after the con than I find this book in the free book room:
Woman. Sheet. Mask. Knife. (Not very good picture, but I've still got homework to do tonight, so deal.)
I've read the first chapter of the book, and it doesn't really carry my rhythm, but it's interesting enough that I'll keep reading and eventually, I hope, catch the rhythm of the book. Then again, I'm not much of a critic - a book has to be just extremely awful for me to hate it. It's no Carey book, though. But it's got a spy, and it's a she.
The cover art suggests to me she isn't afraid to use her breasts to distract someone, but hey, it could just be misleading marketing. The copyright is from 2003, so I have to wonder if this is a reissue with a new cover?
Anyway, I saw a girl in a sheet and declared - TREND - and grabbed the book (it being in the free book room and all.)
In sad news, was going to buy Fiona the Amber paperbacks for her birthday. Tried to get them from the downtown Borders but they don't have any and "they're out of print, but we have the Big Book of Amber."
"Yeah, I have that, the pages are bible thin, I think it might intimidate my 10 year old. Have you seen it?"
"Yup, it's big."
So it looks like I'll be buying them online somewhere, probably used. I promised her she'd have the books we got her name from for her 10th, and she'll have them, just perhaps a little late. (Although I do still have a bit over a week.)

2005 Has Hope
"The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination."
-Elizabeth Hardwick
Since I am going to be done with school in just under 6 weeks, most of the year will be available for reading. And thus begins, the book list. I am not going to assign myself goals and parameters this year. We will just read, and enjoy.

Here's the 50% Off ad for this weekend
It's in USA Today. You don't need a coupon or anything for 50% off the books listed, but if you're going to spend over a certain $ amount, it'd probably be worth it for you to pick up the USA Today for the %off incremental coupon.
December 1, 2004
Borders has Books!
And since I work there and all, and just saw all the deals for the next few weekends (9 things at 50% off this weekend!) I thought I'd hook up a link to The GiftMixer.
I have no idea how the thing works, but it's cute.
Also, keep your eyes out for adds, because seriously, I wanted half the stuff on the half off list and you might too.

When did I...
get too busy to keep a book list? About the time I posted the last one.
I'm in senior level classes. It's hard to make time to read. The discovery of IM, I suspect, has also hampered the effort. I like to talk too much - but making new good friends has been so much fun.
