Books, the utterly superb edition
Nov. 15th, 2008 09:01 pmBooks 2008: 142-143
142. Elizabeth Bear, All the Windwracked Stars.
The list of books that have made me weep is a very short one. The list of books that have made me heave great damned sobs is even shorter.
This book is on it. Oh, god, is this book on it. It is beautiful, and terrible, and painfully full of wonder, and I am impressed and in awe.
It seems that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociquala keeps writing books that hit me where I live. Damnit.

non-fiction:
143. Tacitus, Agricola and Germanies.
One ancient biography, that of Tacitus's father-in-law, a governor of Britain during the reign of Domitian; and one ancient ethnographical inquiry, quite unusual. Interesting for the useful sources that they are, and also slightly weird for a modern reader.
