lyonesse's werewolf novel. three times through, with commentary and all, so i figure it pretty much counts even if it's not actually finished yet. i'll keep up with the reading as it gets written. *grin*
66. Beloved, Toni Morrison. one of those books that's been on the 'i should read that' list for a long time. good, but much stranger than i thought it'd be, and hard and harsh in places. but good.
67. Anansi Boys, Neil Gaiman. it felt lighter, a simpler story, than a lot of his writing. but, as expected, i quite enjoyed it.
68. The Bone People, Keri Hulme. i picked this one up yesterday evening, read a little, and then woke up at 4am and pretty much just read straight on through until i finished it. i'd say it's good, but i can't tell whether it's very good or if it just happened to match up exactly with where i am at the moment. the writing style's eccentric, fitting spelling and punctuation to the flow of the dialogue and story...and it was just-right, at least for me. there were some turns of phrase or perspective that were startling, not because they were new but because they felt like something pulled straight out of my own brain. eh, so. weird. also, it makes me want to move to New Zealand.
