sartorias.
What are you currently reading?
Mary Douglas, Natural Symbols
On my super's recommendation. Douglas is decidedly odd, and rather dated at this point.
Michael Pearson, Those Damned Rebels: The American Revolution As Seen Through British Eyes
Padhraig Higgins, A Nation of Politicians: Gender, Patriotism and Political Culture in Late Eighteenth-Century Ireland
Both of them personal interest.
Saara Lilja, The Treatment of Odours in the Poetry of Antiquity
Olsen and Sens, Archestratos of Gela
Research. I would like them more, did I not resent them for keeping me company in my misery.
What did you recently finish reading?
Today? Melanie Rawn's Touchstone. Recently? Check the "books 2012" tag. There've been a lot.
What do you think you’ll read next?
For research the list is long, and gives me anxiety. For fun and/or reviewing?
Karen Lord's The Best of All Possible Worlds and Felix Gilman's The Rise of Ransom City are probably next up. And Vourvoulias' Ink. I have shelves full of competing NEXTs, and a bunch of electronic things I ought to be reading. (I'd like someone to give me a copy of Manieri's Blood's Pride and ask me to review it, but sky, pie, fishes, wishes, etc.)
