It's all a mystery to me.
May. 17th, 2009 01:59 amNot to brag or anything, but the new mystery novel I recently started reading (like at 6) has cannibalism and a possible (probable) were-hyena, and I'm only like 50 pages in. Sweet. (it also has post WW1 Africa and the patriarchy in it, but really, what doesn't have the patriarchy in it? (Answer, that horrific Feminist SF novel I read in college that put me right off the genre. ))
The one started yesterday has someone being killed with a stiletto, of the shoe type.
The one started last week sometime and forgotten on my bed has about 6 sequels in the bag next to my bed.
The ones taken out of the library earlier this week have quotes from poetry as titles (possibly anachronistic, but maybe not)
And there is at least one more, and possibly several more, either series or stand alone in my stack of library books. I seem to be on a little bit of a mystery novel jag lately. Perhaps I'll read in between laundry tomorrow, since the internet is cranky and thus my tv options are more limited (ooh, but Stargate. that'll go nicely with the mystery novels.) And what I don't finish this weekend I canhave for breakfast with milk and brown sugar take to wiscon.
Also, it is possible that I should be simultaneously reading fewer books.
