So, what do you do when you've a) bought a ton of new bookshelves, b) shelved a ton of books that have lived in boxes for ages and made you squee and go "I didn't even know we had that!" and c) bought a ton of new books?

You re-read sodding Katharine Kerr, that's what. For about the twentieth time.

What's wrong with me?!

I have a new Natsuo Kirino, I have a lovely travel book-ish history of Europe, I never finished Anthony Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time, I have the de Toqueville book I got for Christmas, I have the history of Johnson's dictionary, I have the collected works of Alexander Kielland and haven't read half of them, and I go read Kerr again.

Maybe it's just that I'm tired and still a bit influenza'ed, I crave light and extremely easily read entertainment.

Which reminds me, I bought Neverwhere and never read it. Sigh.

On the other hand, I'm one of those people who loved American Gods.

Just finished American Gods. Loved it. If you liked that, I think you'd like Anansi Boys as well.

I prefer the movie version of Stardust to the book, however.

Shit. I think I have Anansi Boys somewhere. Enough of the re-reading, must read not-already-read books.

Stardust the movie was fantastic.

Well, it could have gone worse; at least it wasn't Harry Potter, eh?
