Books, books, and more books.

Bookstore run has been accomplished (late Sunday night). Driving all the heck around also was. Win.

... somehow, my head has inextricably crossed Bren and Daniel Jackson. I blame Michael Whelan. Also, Mike from Circle of Fire has a new, and unfortunate, last name: Hunter. *headdesk* (This may not survive more than one draft. I blame Cammie, whose language is unfortunately not the sort I'd use around my mother.)

...wait. I am missing a book. I have Pretender. I NEED EXPLORER. Alas!!


Unfortunate physics moment involving a palm tree, a pickup truck, a cable, and a fence. (The fence is a bystander.)

Alaskan wildlife = surreal tech support moments.

Finished re-reading Snow Crash. (I think my days off will be rather book-filled.)

Somehow, I don't think the gentleman driving the pickup truck in the first link is going to be able to convince his insurance company to cover the cost of the damage...

[azurelunatic]

I don't think so either.

It has been too, too long since I re-read Snow Crash.

I got my ex-husband to read it but reading the first chapter aloud to him.

:D I got Shawn hooked by the initial description of Hiro.

Who's Bren?

[azurelunatic]

Bren is Bren Cameron, the linguist/diplomat who gets to live with the aliens in the Foreigner series.

Hm!

[azurelunatic]

And there's alllllllmost enough subtext to slash Bren-ji/Jase-ji, though that assumes that both of them are bi (or, you know, heteroflexible).

[lacey]

I've never heard of this series. I shall have to do some exploring.

[azurelunatic]

You should! It is well worth it! The culture is richly described, alien, and multidimensional.

[lacey]

Sounds like something I could sink my teeth into. Me like.

[azurelunatic]

I recommend it. I recommend a lot of the things that Cherryh writes.

:D
