I had to look his books up. I'm reading the Night Angel trilogy by Brenk Weeks and it's got his name on it and I couldn't for the life of me remember what he'd written. My grade eight socials teacher (and school librarian) used to read his books to us for ten minutes at the beginning of each class. I remember I read everything that was out at the time and I may have acidentally stolen one of his books from the library before they digitized their paperback system...
That is what my LKH books are for. Nothing but fluff and smut and a little violence for flavour. I don't know if I have anything to read to actually stimulate my mind anymore now that I am not in school...trying to learn Korean (by book) and I guess that is stimulating enough...
Haha, some days I think the same thing. Almost all the books on my shelves are fantasy/sci-fi. Very little actual literature. Learning a language really strains your brain though so I wouldn't worry about it :) Why are you learning Korean?

Yeah, All of my books are Urban Fantasy. Some are better than others, but pretty much all the same genre.
Learning Korean for music actually. I...uh..got a bunch of kpop YEARS ago when I was watching Korean horror (which I may watch again as it is freaking creepy). Found the music again when I was transferring stuff onto my new computer. Listened to it, liked it and "found" some more recent music of the ones I liked and others to try (Bi rain, Big Bang, Brown Eyed Girls, Epik High, etc). Unfortunately, music doesn't come with subtitles. I was needing to learn something again anyway as I was getting bored. As usual, reading and understanding it is coming faster to me than listening and understanding. It is fun to write too. Problem is, I keeping mixing Japanese words in...Pretty soon I'll be speaking a completely unintelligible mix of my learned languages when I am trying to figure something out like Steph did with her mix of English, French, Japanese and Mandarin
