Feb. 27th, 2006

I was pondering the nature of LJ "friendships" earlier today while I was thinking about pruning down my reading list a bit. (In the end, I ditched a ton of communities and syndicated feeds but left all the individuals except for a few who'd deleted their journals or dropped me from their own reading lists at some point.) This is mostly a placeholder for me to try to remember to come back and write about it later when I'm not trying to get to sleep, but in the meantime, Terry touches on the same topic. Go read. (It's coincidence, I swear.)

Conveniently, this is also an excuse to show off my new "links" icon from today's Pearls Before Swine. And on that note, to bed.

Current Mood: pondering

Since my last books post (actually, most of this was over the course of the last weekend), I've added:

The Rule of Four, Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason. All the reviews compared it to The Da Vinci Code, and I guess in some sense it is sort of like Mr. Brown's book -- except for being much better written. Mmm, geeky mysteries.

V for Vendetta, Alan Moore and David Lloyd. Of course I had to finally get around to reading this so I could see what they manage to do with the movie.

Kushiel's Chosen, Jacqueline Carey. Mmm, political intrigue, pirates and kinky sex.

Plus, on the comic book front there was the third issue of "The Book of Lost Souls" (number five is out as of last week, must remember to go get it) and up through "Neverwhere" #6.

And that puts me back on track, mostly, for getting to at least 50 books this year.
