Books read 2011 26 Books started but not completed for various reasons are not counted, naturally!

Origin: Diana Abu Jaber
An interesting psychological thriller.  I enjoyed it because I could identify with aspects of the main character, but also for the analysis of how the mind can play tricks on your memory.... was interesting.


Inferno: Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle
A mildly amusing, but rather disturbing retlling of Dante's inferno incorporating modern sins.  I have to agree with the analysis of hell & God from it.  Although if Hell exists I will probably end up there in some horrible place because of that agreement.  Very easy to read, I liked it.


Cop Out: Claire McNabb
A trashy lesbian crime novel, fun, and easy to read.  I'll probably keep reading the series because they provide instant gratification and ease of readingness, but yeah, literarily they aren't terribly good - the writing is also pretty average.

Posting a day early since I doubt I'll be getting anything fnished before the end of today. I'm feeling a little hyper at the moment, so hopefully I'll be able to sleep properly. February has been a bit of a blur and I started out this post convinced that I hadn't posted about January at all! (Turns out that I did.)

Real-life-wise, things should hopefully start to resume some form of calm and normalcy in March. At least for a while.

I kept my February's reading light for the most part and failed utterly in getting ahead with my course book reading. (I finished Nostromo by Joseph Conrad, though! I am still ahead of my classes! If only barely...)

My memory for which books I read when is just as abysmal as last month. It may even be worse. Have what I recall!

A Swift Pure Cry by Siobhan Dowd
Merlin’s Harp by Anne Eliot Crompton
Lancelot and the Lord of the Distant Isles: Or The Book of Galehaut Retold by Patricia Terry & Samuel Rosenberg
The Last Unicorn (Graphic Novel adaptation) by Peter S. Beagle & Peter B. Gillis
Tehanu by Ursula Le Guin
Tales from Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin

How about you? What's your reading been like the past month? Read anything you'd love to recommend to all and sundry? Something you'd warn against? Happy reading in March!
