“Blood Oranges” by Caitlin Kiernan as Kathleen Tierney. The way she talks about this book made me curious.
She thinks it was a mistake. And to be honest, maybe the triteness of Urban
Fantasy doesn’t really suit her… themes? Writing style? General message?
Interesting read, maybe not for the right reason.
“The Count of Monte Cristo” by Alexandre Dumas. The
boy had it lying around and for some reason he decided to read it (because
exams were over, so reading could be fun again?) He talked it up so much, I
said could I read it after (we actually traded – His Majesty’s Dragon for
this). In the meantime we watched the movie and he pointed out all the places
it deviated. An interesting game to me, since I took a class in adaptation in
school. This being a paperback was a nice thing to carry around, while the
other things were good to read when I was at home. Also, it didn’t hurt that
the characters weren’t hard to keep track of since I’d watched the movie. Also,
at a certain point it didn’t matter that much who they all were, I got the
idea. A classic totally worth reading.
