- I finished reading Les Mis. Finally. But no matter that it took months, it was worth it. Now I fully understand the soundtrack (which was why I read the book in the first place).
- I suggest that everyone reads The Scar by China Mieville, then Storm Thief by Chris Wooding (and maybe The Fade, too). Both are good (brilliant, even) books, and it's interesting to see where Chris Wooding (the king of original ideas in fantasy) gets some of his inspiration. Other reasons to read The Scar: characters reacting realistically to battle scenes, Tanner Sack, a boat city, Tanner Sack, plot twists, grey morality, AND DID I MENTION TANNER SACK?!
