The Book Ate My Brain!


*cough*

Mm. Well. I know I haven't been so much with the, you know, writing. And that list of entries I'm writing or want to write grows all the time.

So. Why not so much, lately? Well, you can blame this.

I'm one of those people who, when I find a book I like, really like, the rest of the world ceases to exist. I don't want to do anything but read. I'll carry the book around the house with me, leaving it in reach so that if I get, say, three-quarters of a minute here or a minute and a half there, I'll get in a paragraph or two. Like a junkie taking just a little hit, to keep the buzz going in between real fixes. Which usually happen in the evenings, after Kidlet's sleeping and I can bury my head between pages.

As for the book itself -- if your tastes don't lean to the vampiric, racy, bloody, metaphysical, mysterious side, this is not something I'd recommend. Some of y'all know Hamilton's stuff and know what I'm talking about. Anyhow, I'll do up a bit of a review after I finish it. Which will be soon, the rate I'm going.

Anyway, must go. Must. Reaaadddd...
