Reading books, alas
Nov. 6th, 2009 09:13 amI realized today that I think I've barely read any new novels this year --China Mieville's The City and The City, Lightbreaker, by Mark Teppo, and The Steel Remains, by Richard K Morgan.
I have read a metric butt ton of short stories, however, and quite a bit of non-fiction as well. Oh yeah, and novels by friends in my writing groups--which is awesome because it's like reading a regular book, but if something bugs you, you actually get to scribble in the manuscript and tell the author!
But being at World Fantasy reminded me yet again of how many friends I have whose books I've never read (or whose books I've started and never finished because I get distracted easily nowadays, rather than any actual quality issues.)
