Feb. 11th, 2006 04:09 pm...apparently it's been a month since i updated this. oops. i'm sure i'm forgetting some, but here's what i remember:
5, 6. Dancing at the Edge of the World, Always Coming Home, Ursula K. Le Guin. Dancing is essays and transcripts of speeches, generally organized as "thoughts on words, women, places". a good read. Always Coming Home...i've read it three or four times now, and i notice new bits each time. it was interesting to see more of the structure of the thought-experiment this time around, to see what variables she played with and how, and what she glossed over or left out.
7, 8. Strangers in Paradise pocket-books 1 & 2, Terry Moore. argh, cliffhangers! now i really, really want to read the rest of them.
9. Adventures in the Dream Trade, Neil Gaiman.
10. The Illustrated Man, Ray Bradbury. this was also the third or fourth read, and i still like it very much, but this time around the sexism interfering with my enjoyment of some of the stories. meh. ( for example... )
11. The Tale of the Unknown Island, José Saramago. a very small and simple story told beautifully, and the illustrations (by Peter Sís) are exactly right.
