I don't believe I forgot this

And in the vein of 'Where did all my braincells go?' -

- I read another book over the weekend. C.E. Murphy's ([livejournal.com profile] mizkit) Urban Shaman. Fast, fun, and brilliant. Urban fantasy, new take on old tropes, orignal-as-far-as-I-know mixing up of Celtic and Native American mythologies, and one hell of a fast pace. Definitely recommended reading.

You can tell I liked it, right?

I read that one, and..well, anything where the main character is sleep-deprived just makes me irritable. First, I start feeling sleep-deprived myself, and secondly, I know too much about the impairment of the brain function in the sleep-deprived brain to accept the doings of any such character. I lose the suspension of disbelief.

Other than that, a nice read.

Do you know, I didn't even notice that if the main character was running that low on sleep she ought to have been a bit slower on the uptake.

Then again, I wasn't exactly running at optimum myself at the time. :)

See? It's just a vicious cycle.

Get a good night's rest and you'll feel like a million euros. (worth more than a million dollars)
