A friend of mine wrote a quiz. And the more people who join in, the more fun the results will be. Come play! It's not a test of knowledge or trivia, just answer whatever pops into your head.

Book suggestions?

I have a few days of no Linc and Bill coming up, and I'm in the mood for a piece of fiction. I've got a pile of nonfiction waiting for my attention, but sometimes you just need a good yarn. So... what do you recommend?

I love Dick Francis, Tony Hillerman, Barbara Kingsolver. I LOVE "Mists of Avalon," but was eh about other chicklit like "She's Come Undone," "Red Tent" and "Secret Life of Bees." Not feeling up to the slogging or thinkiness of something like Tolkein. Evanovich is a little too trashy. And I would need to be able to get my hands on it in KC for not a huge chunk of change. I can't start a huge fascinating series because I rarely have this kind of downtime. So... one book, can be biggish, delicious writing but not too sloggy. I'm headed to WisCon so maybe something SF/F, especially if it's got a mystery element to it... I enjoyed Octavia Butler's Imago series. I loved "Ender's Game" but not so much Card's work after that.

Bring it on!
