is it crunchy? do kittens like it?

i dunno. i went home from work today feeling decidedly crappy and slept solid from 3pm until 8pm. need to stay awake now to sleep through the night and feeling very sad about missing another rehearsal.
i'm about halfway through Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, and i'm plodding on with the grim determination that i applied to The Witching Hour - i can see the edges of something great here, and i'm sure that if i read on i'll be rewarded. right? right?*
meanwhile, i've got a list of other thick novels i'd like to read. i'm tempted to ditch it for other things, but i've put in the time now and i know that if i stop i won't remember enough to pick it up again without starting over.

so, peanut gallery...

*The Witching Hour never paid off. i can't believe i actually tried reading the sequels in hopes of the story i wanted appearing. those are hours of my life i'll never get back.

Right, yeah, so Sunshine by Robin McKinley and The Doomsday Book - if you haven't read these books I promise they will take the bitter taste of time wasted out of your mouth.

Doomsday Book, loved it. i'm surprised i didn't pick up Sunshine before, since i've loved McKinley from The Blue Sword on.

Elliot Bay had it misfiled under horror. It's really a great read. I've been picking up everything she wrote since I read The Blue Sword a couple of years ago.
