Fiction recommendations.

[mrissa]

I've been going through the fiction on my library list at an alarming rate, because I'm not interspersing it with nonfiction at the moment. Don't know when I'll get my ability to read nonfiction back, but it doesn't seem to go well with the vertigo. So in the meantime: what fiction should I read? Recommend something, or more than one something. If I've already read it, that's okay; I'll tell you, and you can recommend something else, or not, as you like.

I read books aimed at any age of person. The main genre constraint I have is that I tend to bounce hard off genre romance, and horror and traditional westerns are not generally my cup of tea.

In other news, Ista is really not at all thrilled with this entire holiday, and she's alternating between running around wanting to figure out what those noises are and trying to stay hidden and safe behind the living room couch.

I watched the first half of Good Night and Good Luck with today's workout. Seemed appropriate. Happy Independence Day, all those of you who celebrate it today.

I can do with either. I started the PT lo these many moons ago with a massive comfort phase -- I read nothing but Sayers and Bujold for a fortnight or more. But new and sometimes challenging stuff is now fine again, too.

The problem is that you've probably read all the stuff that's new to me. The last new, challenging thing I read was The Green Glass Sea. (I even got my mom to write down the title. Go me.) And so forth--Ink & Steel is going to be my next fabulous acquisition, then Jhegaala, then Saturn's Children....

I have no idea what my next fabulous acquisition will be, because I'm not allowed to buy myself books until after my birthday (the 26th). All of those are on my list, though!
