Occasional Madness

Finished yesterday.  I discovered quite a few authors I MUST read thanks to some of the contributions.  Also, dear sweet Zombie Jesus, don’t read the one about the spiders:

Finished the final 200 pages earlier today after struggling through the narrative for at least a month.  I wanted to like it based on my love for another novel by the same author, but I was so disappointed by so many things:

Started earlier today, hoping to finish this weekend.  I shamelessly love (almost) all things Elizabeth Bear, and Don Sebastien is one of my weak spots,  I just wish these books were easier to find:

And next up will (probably) either be 

I really, really don’t care about Abercrombie’s stories but, damn, this man comes up with some awesome characters

OR

which I found thanks to her Contribution in Naked City, which is from the same setting.

Also, at some point I should really finish A Storm of Swords.  I stopped that puppy midway through and never came back to it.  And that was in, uh, July?  I want to, but Martin kills my soul a little each and every time a bannerman is mentioned.  There are too damn many characters in that series.  Too.  Damn. Many.

Day 14: Have you ever had a floating head? What about a headless body?

I’ve had both, though the floating head scenarios is FAR more frequent in its occurrence.  Floating bodies only happen when someone is off for faceup, and even then the body is usually hijacked by one of the floating heads until its original owner returns.

A HUGE part of my collecting problem is that I hate floating heads.  All the dolls must be complete!

Poor Indira has never had a body to call her own.  Forever a floating head.

Day 13: Dolly shoes! Show us how many you have!

Uh, my dolls are wearing them at the moment, and some are barefoot due to lack of shoes. 

 Just as I am not obsessed with human shoes, I really don’t care about doll shoes, either.
