February Reads

[sweet_sparrow]

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!

The Heights? I actually don't know. I read it before I go to sleep so much of it is veiled in a sleepy haze, but I think it's less good than I was hoping/expecting. I kind of like the recent film a lot, and the book so far seems to just be a drier and more long-winded and less pretty rendition of the story (which...is far too complex as far as I'm concerned, haha). But it's interesting and I do love me some classics, if only for the quirky language and people's "you're reading WHAT for leisure?? you do know that English is not your native language, right?" reactions.

But yeah, March has far greater potential! The weather just turned so now sitting outside reading is actually *enjoyable* and not just something I do because I should. And the last few books of the year (four and two halves out of 37) seem pretty interesting. (I'm especially excited about The Unbearable Lightness of Being!)

We discussed it in class. I don't think it was what anyone in it was expecting. ^-^

Oooh, that reaction got me into so much trouble once... Now I just use it to scare my younger cousins who aren't readers. ^-~

Mmm, I envy you your weather and hope it'll be similar here soon! And I'm glad that your books are sounding more interesting!
