I went to WisCon the weekend before this one! I have a few write-ups, though most of the experience exists as livetweets and retweets on twitter. Still I'd like to have something up here, so I'll try to do that this week. I have a few pictures too, to be uploaded later from my phone.

As usual, I'm reading several books at once. Trying to focus on Finding My Elegy, which is a collection of Ursula K. Le Guin poems, and The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer by Jennifer Lynch. I got that last one because a friend said they found a similarity, with the talk of destiny and agency and early suffering (to summarize to the best of my memory, this was like a month ago or more), between Laura Palmer and Daenerys Targaryen, as a result of reading the diary at the same time as she reread Game of Thrones. I was show-only, though I have the book, but the comparison was very interesting and I think I can see it too.

I'm going to get my stomach looked at with an endoscopy late this month. ;;

On a fandom note...I have so much to do.

Despite the awful things that happen in it, this is an optimistic book. Or actually, it's the bad things that happen in it that make it optimistic. A book can't be optimistic if it doesn't have the horrible things that happen in life. That's fantasy (not in the speculative genre sense, though many fantasy novels also fit this definition.) Lauren Olamina shapes her life and guides others in shaping theirs no matter what happens to them.

Some sad travel descriptions. Finally we can all admit it's Gollum whose been the creep factor for chapters and chapters. Giant flying creatures of the night, wonderful. Now the conflict is between Boromir and anyone who doesn't agree with him.
