Faulkner and a cold glass of beer. Great way to end a long day at work.

Classic children's books and the odd thrill of sharing something from your childhood with a little person today.

I listen to a LOT of audiobooks nowadays - I have a very long morning commute, and sometimes the radio just isn't reliable. And listening to Neil Gaiman's heavenly voice read beautifully disturbing children's stories is a perfect way to start my day.

Holy hells, how is it March already? In honor of spring coming on fast, I give you my current favorite nerdy reading. Mmm, Shakespearean rhetoric.

A gray day, with the mist shrouding the mountains outside my hometown.
"...when mists as chill as death wandered to the impulse of the east winds along those purple peaks..."

Books as a Solstice present - always a good thing! These are The Orphan's Tales by Catherynne M. Valente, and they come highly recommended.

My idea of a perfect Sunday morning - a cup of hot tea and perhaps my favorite book of all time, Pride and Prejudice. Oh Mr. Darcy, how I love you so.
Also, any P&P fans need this comic in their lives:

Libraries, dude. Libraries are pretty damn awesome. I'm the kind of person who'll go on vacation for a week and still manage to pick up a library card wherever I am; I have four different cards in my wallet right now. I'm amazed that people are continually impressed by the fact that we can just go to this place, fill out some paperwork, and get access to as many free books as you want. Yes, you have to return them, but they're still there and easily available and besides having to return them means you have to read them in an alloted time and not buy them and leave them decoratively on a shelf and forget about them for ages.
I adore books, by the way. Those will feature prominently in this project.
(Also, please note my truly amazing Paint skills.)
