Things I’ve recently read: The Terror - Dan Simmons Very much enjoyed this, especially as it didn’t go to shit during the final third. Unlike The Abominable, which really did. The Eagle of the Ninth - Rosemary Sutcliff Haven’t read it since I was 13 or something, but still great. A ‘proper good’ historical novel, though arguably not as wonderful as: The Lantern Bearers (same author) Another re-read. Set during the Roman withdrawal from Britain as the barbarians take over. Quite melancholy, but great. The sequel, Sword at Sunset, is one of her adult novels and possibly her best. It’s about the ‘historical’ King Arthur (kinda like the King Arthur movie with Clive Owen, only not crap). Plain Bad Heroines - Emily M. Danforth A horror novel but one I didn’t find at all frightening. Beautifully written, but the plot just kinda stops. Currently reading: Sleeping Beauties - Stephen and Owen King Started it this afternoon. I’m not sure if it’s going to be vintage King (shit has only just started hitting the fan for real) but I’m really enjoying it. |
