First and foremost. I need new reading material - anyone got any book recs ^^? I'm mostly a sci-fi/fantasy girl, although I've got a minor passion for mystery, and am not actually opposed to to any genre so long as it's done well. And I trust you people's taste in books, as I don't think they've lead me astray yet ^^ ...Although, I still need to pay off my $16 in overdue fines at the library before I get anything else out, but I'll probably do that sometime soon if Brattin won't let me borrow his copy of American Gods. Mmmm, Gaiman ^^
Also, I have the bizarre urge to design a sort of techno-futuristic Death costume. I had considered the idea of my own Death before, and I think finishing off Neuromancer for the second time today dragged it back up. Books enjoy making a lunch out of my brain, it seems.
Gah, what else was there? Oh! Lunch, as always ^^ Emily stated that New Hampshire is the Lost Tribe of the Hicks, and Guida thinks I'm going to become the first homosexual president of the US. Grace's opinion was that I was going to become a hermit billionaire ^^ I so love my friends, even the ones who I don't eat lunch with on a regular basis. All you guys rock ^^
Winter came over, too. We played DDR and sat around and talked and made brownies and...stuff. Yeah, I'm kind of tired right now. It showing much ^^?

Date: 2003-12-12 06:23 pm (UTC)From: (Anonymous)The Five People You Meet In Heaven: can't remember author
A guy who has been working his whole life in a boardwalk amusement park dies trying to save the life of a little girl. He goes to heaven and meets five different people from his life that tell him things about himself and the world. Not too preachy and a really sweet book all around.
Fantasy:
The Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn Trilogy: Tad Williams
I have yet to conquer Otherworld but this series was amazing. It's about this young boy Simon who suddenly finds himself thrown into a war between an ancient race called the Sithi, their kin the Norns, and two factions from his own home. It's something akin to King Arthur meets Lord of the Rings. Very funny and very good.
Artemis Fowl: Eoin Colfer
Super genius tries to pull the ultimate robbery: stealing gold from the LEP-recon unit. Harry Potter meets the 21st century. Very quick read.

I love your icon!
Watched the 16th episode of X just a week ago and became an absolute Seishirou/Subaru shipper :D (Hope you don't mind me posting here.)
Oh, and something not so unrelated:
"At swim, two boys" by O'Neill.
I love that book. It's about two boys who discover their love for each other behind the background of the easter rising in 1916 in Ireland. It's over six hundreds pages long, but if you're at the end of the book, you're asking yourself why it had to be so short.
