SuosikkikirjastotMuskingum University Library

Tietoja minustaI'm an academic librarian in Ohio who has recently re-discovered time to read-for-fun (as opposed to reading-for-graduate-degrees - MLS & MA in History). It's pretty fantastic!

Tietoja kirjastostaniMy library is a smoosh of things I own and things I've read. All books that I own are tagged owned. This is not really that large a group of books - the library is so convenient that I tend not to buy unless it's a much-loved volume that I intend to read over and over again.

Take that with a grain of salt, however - many of those books are ones I intended to read over and over again when I was 14 and now can't bear to part with.

I've added most of my fiction books and am slowly working on adding the number of non-fiction (mostly history) books I own.

Books I've read in the past are added hodge-podge as I recall them, while books I'm reading currently are added, tagged, rated, and dated with religious fervor. When I'm really good, I even review.

I'm a pretty big sci-fi geek with a dash of fantasy thrown in, but I also love well-written historical fiction and the occasional 'popcorn' piece. And I have a never-ending fondness for Y/A lit.

Although my library has existed for awhile, I've really only started using LT since Dec 2008.

NOTIFICATION: If you notice an error/typo/etc in my catalog, please feel free to let me know and I will clean it up!

*waves* 'ello. Coming over from the Read YA Lit December-reading thread since, well, the following ramble won't contain YA lit mentions. ^-~

The only times I've seen fey/fairies done close to what they are in folklore are Elizabeth Bear's The Stratford Man, Hope Mirrlees' Lud-in-the-Mist (well, almost), Moonheart by Charles de Lint and The Wood Wife by Terri Windling. The latter two don't deal with Celtic-fey, but they're a good example of the otherworldliness I enjoy seeing, so I thought I'd throw them in there, especially seeing how we don't appear to share them.

Mirrlees' book is an early 20th century imitation of Victorian styles. It's less dangerous than fey of old, but still manages to be far, far closer to the idea of the fey one finds in folklore than any YA book I've read to date. Bear's work and I have a connection issue, but it was the first modern work I read that made me feel like people could still write fey akin to folklore.

There is so, so much beauty and story potential in them - as is evident by the fact they're still very much around in literature nowadays and in authors returning to fairy-lore roots. Just... apparently YA wants the fluffy Victorian-sanitised version, which makes me sad. I like my dangerous fey to be truly dangerous, not just pretend-dangerous. (And I like my murderous kelpies to be, you know, murderous kelpies, not lovesick puppies. Or, if they must, at least give them a reason to be. *pet peeve that probably started her quest*)

I'll... Stop now before I start ranting at you...

Do you like Meagan Whalen Turners books?

Wondering what you'll think of Zanesville. People seem really divided on this one with hardly anyone neutral.

Just wanted to say hello. You've got an interesting library and we've got quite a few books in common.

We all have different tastes and that is what I like about LibraryThing: hearing about other people's reading experiences. I had a similar view of China Mieville's Perdido Street Station, even though there were different obstacles for me.

I'd urge you to give William Gibson another chance, especially his more recent works, like Pattern Recognition or Spook Country. Both of these are in a much more accessible future, a much more believable future, and as such, my be easier to get into. Stylistically, they are also not as rough around the edges.

I may disagree with your assessment of Neromancer, but you stated your case well and I can respect your opinion. We all like different things in reading!

Keep reading, keep enjoying!

I promise that I enjoyed it immensely. Looking at the Fifty Degrees Below LibraryThing page, it seems like that is far less awesome. I mean, at the very basic, we can start with Mars > Washington, D.C. That has got to be a proven fact in the universe. The political bits about climate change and political disarray back on earth were the least interesting bits of Red Mars, so I can see how a whole book about that would not be impressive.

But in any case, I have kind of a thing for Mars, so you might want to take my recommendation with a grain of salt. But still, I really, really liked it and am happily starting on my second read-through, so... you might just want to take a peak at the first chapter and see if you're interested.

This is a very belated reply -- but yes, I've made a point to read lots of fun things since the Chyrsler bio! It was definitely a challenge to get through. But I can really recommend basically every book I've read since then, so! Yay for good books (especially in comparison with bad books).

I was glad to see that you've gotten through Locke Lamora and enjoyed that -- it's always nice when I recommend and people enjoy the recommendations. :) I bet you'd enjoy the one I just finished off, Red Mars. So you can add that one to your already massive wish list.

Isn't it wonderful - just to enjoy the pleasure of a book.

Yay for "time to read-for-fun" - though I graduated donkeys years ago, I remember how that felt.
