Anyone who reads fantasy, and hasn't read Robin McKinley already, be ashamed of yourself, and immediately go out and rectify this. With a copy of this, preferably. It's a gorgeous new edition, and despite the fact I already own a copy I would be seriously tempted to replace it, if I had any money. When I get a job... *sigh*

Also read Sunshine. It's a nice antidote to all those trashy vampire novels out there.

We did have fireworks last night, although it was raining quite a bit which quite literally put a dampener on proceedings. I've just noticed that it was Diwali yesterday too, so a belated happy fireworks day / Diwali to everyone.

Finished Doomsday Book and Animal Farm.

Hmm. What next? I can't read any more George Orwell as G has swiped the compilation....

Part of a vertebral column.

Thanks to aellia for pointing this out to me:

I really really hope it doesn't mean the end of LJ, especially as I just bought a permanent account.
