85. - 87. The Summer Tree, The Wandering Fire, and The Darkest Road, the Fionavar trilogy by Guy Gavriel Kay. yet more good fluff courtesy of vyrin, this time in the form of densely-packed fantasy motifs...of DOOOOOM! also, naming your characters "Aileron" and "Tandem" does not help me to take things seriously. but that's ok, i don't have to.

88. Tigana, Guy Gavriel Kay. same author, still fantasy kinda-fluff, but more nicely crafted and an interesting thought-experiment about memory and identity. ravenslost says i should read some of his other books, too.

today, the only book i have read is Developmental Biology. the Barthes is still waiting, in part because i've put my brain on the shelf for awhile. also i think i'm about due to get some books back to their respective libraries.

I love Tigana. I think it's one of the better-crafted, more-in-depth fantasy novels I've read, to be honest. :) Shooooot, now I want to read it again. And I don't have time! I mean, I have a battered copy and all, but I have fallen into this place where I'm not finishing *any* books I'm reading, which is really weird for me, and I don't have time to start more because I have a paper to wriiiiite. Arg! :)

heh. i shouldn't be reading this much; i've got my own paper to write. (it's just a relatively small ~10pg "research" paper, but i'm having a bitch of a time with discipline and motivation right now.)

i did like Tigana, and i may well re-read it before too long. and from what i hear, his other books are also worth reading.
