Ray Bradbury – The Martian Chronicles

Pablo Bacigalupi – The Windup Girl
Finished: December 16, 2011 2011 Book Count: 62 This was a pretty incredible read, and one of the most convincing speculative fiction novels I have ever read. I hesitate a little to call it science fiction, even though literally speaking

Quality vs Quantity
Not to brag, but I can read in other languages. Well, only one, actually: Japanese – one day I’ll add some more, I hope, but right now, it’s actually just a grand total of two. Lately, though, I haven’t read

Ray Bradbury – I Sing the Body Electric!
Finished: December 9, 2011 2011 Book Count: 61 I was just looking at my 2011 Book Count Post-Mortem, and I realized that I hadn’t written about many of the books that made my Notably Excellent Books of 2011 list. Oops.

Eddie Izzard is my Long John Silver
I was trolling IMDB for other things when I found out that someone had made an adaptation of Treasure Island without my knowledge. How dare they! Anyway, I was looking for something to watch and it was feature length, so

The Crimson Petal and the White – Episode Four
I’m not sure if that last episode improved for my knowing the ending or not. Sugar got what she wanted all along – independence from men and someone to care for and be cared for by unconditionally in Sophie; and

The Crimson Petal and the White – Episode Three
Did your nurse bring you extra blankets, miss? No, but that’s how I know you needed one. That is the whole episode in a nutshell, really. Sugar has moved in with William into his house in the position of governess

January 2012 Highlights
I thought I would share a couple books I have in my “Too-Read” Pile that I would like to start this month! I’m not even in my pyjamas this time! Bed’s not made and the cat is in the same

2011 Book Count Post-Mortem
Well, the end of the year has been rung in, and here are the stats: Of a total of 68 books. I think the one that surprised me the most was that I had only read 8 and 7 Science
