A little book-geek blogging.

Just finished: Perdido Street Station by China Miéville. HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD THIS WILL GIVE ME NIGHTMARES FOR LIFE I'm SO requesting and offering this for Yuletide. Bloody brilliant. But wrenching.

(Is it just me, or does the Hybrid from BSG talk an awful lot like the Weaver?)


Now starting: His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik. 'cause all the cool kids are doing it. So far so good - much lighter, relatively speaking, which is a necessary thing. Just a few chapters in and I like Laurence already.

I'll finish the books first, don't want to get spoiled. I'll tell you this though: I don't have a bestiality squick, I actually have a little bit of a bestiality kink--in fantasy at least. What squicks me about it IRL is the consent/communication issues. Give me an animal with humanlike intelligence and ability to talk in fantasy and I am ALL about the wildly different bodies finding ways to pleasurably interact. /TMI.

*nods* I share that opinion to the letter. *sits back and waits for you to finish the books and subsequently find creative ways for pleasurable interaction*

Interesting -- well said, and yes -- exactly.

Looks like I've got some cool reading to do!
