Unless I can devise some sort of clever plan, I'm looking at 8 hours spent in the airport today (without internet access, since I'm too cheap to pay for it). While I'm gone, leave me book recommendations! Or just tell me about what you've been reading lately (OR, if you're feeling creative, tell me about your favorite character from a movie or TV show, then tell me what professional author you'd pay to write fic about them). If you need ideas, a lot of the authors I like can be found in my interests.

Anyone who mentions Steven King or Toni Morrison does so at their own peril.

Hodgman!

I mean, Hodgman!

I always recommend Reginald Hill to anybody whose lapels I can grab. He writes dense and amusing mysteries with the emphasis on character, though how the plot turns out will probably surprise.

Momo by Michael Ende. Even better if you can read it in German!
YES I AM RECCING A CHILDREN'S BOOK

I find anything by Imogen Edwards-Jones is perfect plane/airport/beach reading. 'Hotel Babylon', 'Fashion Babylon', or if you want to be really meta: 'Air Babylon'. They're British. They're incredibly trashy and dishy. They'll soothe your brain as your take off is delayed over and over.

I'm not reading anything, like, at all. I feel like a dunce. Calamity Physics was the first book I read in about two years.

Mainstays: Vonnegut, Pratchett, Chris Moore... yeah. It's been a while.

The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson. Fiction! And good.

I'm utterly mass market and I'm over being pissed as hell at her so I'll recommend Karin Slaughter. She has one stand alone that has just been released in paperback this month Triptych.

Heh, I'd pay good money to read a Terry Pratchett version of TM. Footnotes and whatnot. Actually, a Terry Pratchett version of anything.

I've been reading The Once and Future King by TH White, and I'm loving it, even if it does get a bit bogged down here and there.

And I'd pay, oh, say(glances at shelf hopefully), Peter David to give his take on Severus Snape(the Alan Rickman version, not the literary version).

Hmmmmm... books.

Okay, I was a big of the The Time-Traveler's Wife & Love Walked In. But, then, I've been in a funny mood lately. I'm still working my way through the Zombie book, but it's in my desk at work which means... I never read it. Ha. I don't have much left though. I also have this neat book about Japanese tea ceremonies which is pretty neat.

So, I saw Stardust today. Beautiful movie. I feel in love with Claire Dane's character. So, so, so beautiful.
