I'm not much of an entertainer, I'm afraid...

Last night, I cried for half an hour after I finished 'Songmaster' by Orson Scott Card. Features pederasty and homosexuality. Very beautiful language and the author knows how to make the reader feel the character's emotions. The book is a little bit out-there in the beginning, but after 20 pages, I was completely hooked.

I also read 40 page of the last Star Wars NJO book. Very boring and I skipped most of the pages. James Luceno is not one of my favorite writers. He writes very monotonous sentences without much variation in style and he explains too much instead of showing the reader. I can see the plot coming from miles and the characters are flat and unrecognizable. I'd rather read the synopsis than wading through his writing.

The last book I read yesterday was 'Blade of Tyshalle' by someone. I haven't finished it yet and I'm not sure I'll ever finish it. I liked his last book (Heroes Die), but he overdid it with this book. Guts flying everywhere and difficult plot to follow. And the sexual perversion isn't half as interesting as the previous book. If you haven't read Heroes Die than this books will be incomprehensible.

And two days I made another book order for 9 books. Most of them fantasy or military SF. One of them is a sort of coming-of-age gay book (with underage characters); Amazon says there were sex scenes *rubs hands*.

My eyes are hurting from reading too much at night.

Boring story, ain't it?

Hm. Well, I'm still counting cells. Interesting, isn't it? Oh, and I suddenly sympathize with my boss (with whom I've never had a social conversation of any kind), because she got a call in the middle of the meeting I and another girl were having with her by someone who's daughter committed suicide last weekend. After which we had a conversation about suicide. Entertained yet? :: snerk ::

Oh, wait, this might be entertaining, though it's rather probable you've already seen it. A theory demonstrating that Ron is, in fact, Dumbledore. Not sure if I agree with it, but the essay is indeed impressive. Oh, and the first part of te essay tries to determine how the chess game played in PS reflects the future developments in the general plot of the HP books. (You need to go to the second page for the DD = Ron theory...)
