I'm a lemming (aka the first lines meme)

I wouldn't have thought I'd like that book so much, because really, not much happens for such a thick book. The build up is so slow. But that's partly why the reader can get to know the characters so well, become part of their world.

I am so disappointed that my postsecondary experience hasn't been like that. It makes me wish I'd pulled myself together enough to go to university right out of high school at the tail end of the seventies.

Since we're both fascinated by fairy tales and what fantasy authors can do with them, I figure we must have read a lot of the same books.

And, 3.) Memory and Dream, Charles de Lint.

Hi - what better way to procrastinate work than browsing LJ communities, clicking on the pages of people who made interesting posts, and then following threads that look intriguing? (I liked your mention of L.M. Montgomery in academics_anon.) Anyway, #5 is The Lions of Al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay, one of my favorites. Did you like the others in the series too? (I realize this post is over a year and a half old, and you may never see this, but it still functions as procrastination. ;) )
