Just finished Outlander. OMG much squee!

Must refrain from starting Dragonfly in Amber right away, as it's 3:30. And, I want to work up a review of Outlander before I read the next book and get confused.

I <3 Jaimie!
And I <3 Claire!

And I hope that bastard Jonathan Randall is rotting in the worst (literary) hell imaginable.

And I'm none too fond of Dougal, either.


...shall post an update when I have sufficient wits to post a decent review on my book blog.

And dammit, now I need an Outlander icon! Anyone have anything remotely resembling Jaimie? OH! Or one of Claire I can manip and put "heroine addict" onto? (...must search google images...)

How I Feel: tired. Happy. Squee!

It's that time of year again. Time for the annual "Have you read the books I read this year?" poll. Under the cut is a list of all the books I read this year - 124 in all, though since there were a few repeats during the year, they are marked with a * and only appear once, thus lowering that number significantly.

How I Feel: awake

So, following the lead (though a few days late) of many people over at librarything, I'm putting together a poll consisting of the books I read (or rather, finished) in 2006.

I finished reading the book last night, and saw the movie today. It's not nearly as bad as the critics are saying it is. It's not great, but it's not horrible, either. It's a very intellectual movie, and it helps to have (1) read the book and (2) know the real facts (such as the Gnostic heresy, the facts about Rosslyn Chapel, the Knights Templar, the dual nature of Christ, and Opus Dei). It's a good work of fiction, but really, it is fiction.

This week (and the two following) it's A Confederacy of Dunces. Oh, my god. Ignatius J. Reilly is the most offensive character I have ever come across (though Count Olaf comes in a close second; at least CO knows how to act in public, if not in private). I'm only 15 pages in and already I'm torn between hurling the book across the room in disgust and continuing just to see if he gets his HORRIBLE ego punctured and how and by whom. Ugh! *shudder*
