On books and reading...
I went to Half-Price books last night, with the vague idea to seek out some over-the-top Gothics, inspired by ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rachelmanija's latest review posts, but instead ended up with:
Sheri Tepper Northshore and Southshore
Manly Wade Wellman (forgotten the title and the book is at home, but it's a collection of his Silver John stories)
Ian MacDonald Desolation Road (the first two pages had a real Gene Wolfe Book of the New Sun vibe.)
Bill Bryson Shakespeare: The World as Stage
So I still have that vague urge to read over-the-top Gothics, but none to be had. Hrm.

myrialux got the Branagh version of Hamlet from Netflix the other day. We watched the first DVD on Saturday night, and are saving the second for some other time this week because 4+ hours of The Original Emo Kid is too much for either of us to take at once. (myrialux comment right after he turned off the TV: "Hamlet never stops talking, does he?")
Am bogging down in Clan Daughter, the second book of The Orc Queen trilogy (the first of which I reviewed here a few posts back. I'm still loving the anthropology porn - poking through old ruins, learning nuances of language, running into cultural issues and assumptions - but the plot, not so much.
