I love librarything.com. It’s really cool. I was basically just surfing around over there, trying to find the place where they post their bookpiles, (’cause I just uploaded this one) and ended up in a forum talking about what I’ve been reading lately.
Long story short, I decided it would make a good blog post, and here I am. So here’s what I’m reading lately:
I’m in the last few dozen pages of The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. I’m also in the midst of A Theory of Fun, by Raph Koster. I usually have a non-fiction book I’m just carrying around while I actually read a novel.
When I finish The Amber Spyglass, I intend to start reading Thirteen, by Richard K. Morgan, hopefully tomorrow night.
Other books on the night side stand (ie, ones I’ve started reading, but not yet completed, or just like having near at hand): Astro City: Local Heroes, Kabuki: Metamorphosis, Fables: 1001 Nights of Snowfall, Motherless Daughters by Hope Edelman, The Automatic Message, The Making of a Poem, ActionScript for Flash MX, Stardust (The original with illustrations by Charles Vess), Make Magazine: Issue 8, and numerous other individual comic books.
That’s about it.
Hi Marty! I just came across your blog because I was looking for information on your wedding. I just discovered librarything a couple of days ago, and I’m glad you found it to be rewarding too! I learned a couple of things, though: I have fewer books than I thought, and I don’t have enough fiction. Ah, I’ve heard His Dark Materials is excellent! -Rebecca
