Waiting to get my hot lil hands on Pratchett's Nation. Pigggy: every tried the more hard-to-find stuff by LM Montgomery? The Emily series and the Chronicles of Avonlea. They show the true class of her talent, and I love the sheer emotive loveliness of it. Her other stuff is a bit contrived, though. I never liked Anne of Green Gables. Have you read any good sci fi lately? I recommend early Cherryh. Sunfall was mindbending. Also short stories by Ursula K. Le Guin. Especially the Fisherman of the Inland Sea. I'll try virginia woolf, because i found her a bit too depressing originally. I prefer c.s. Lewis's Surprised by Joy. Still haven't ploughed through the children of hurin, either. But i'll make a note to avoid house of leaves... I'll try the dresden files tomorrow.
