Lord, I am so tired. How long can this go on?

If I had known that I would be here until two in the morning, I would have brought a book. Hurray time and a half.

I love your icons. They're so darn classy.
This one's pretty much the closest I get to classy.

I've decided after last Friday's debacle at the eye doctor (2 hours there, 15-20 minutes of that seeing anyone, and no reading material other than the vitamins doc's hucking on the side) that I'll have one of my books (Neuromancer, ATM) living in my bag that I take to work, and the library book at home by the bed.

Well, I started out the work day with Sunday's Monday's and Tuesday's newspaper. And the current book of choice is Neal Stephenson's "Tome the Size of a Particularly Large Dog", volume two of his "Tree Frightener" trilogy. Which does fit into my bag but tends to make the suspension of my car complain.

You make me laugh!

Have you *seen* these books? It's like Stephen King! They're like 6" by 10" and nearly a thousand pages each!

[lil-m-moses.livejournal.com]

I -own- and have -read- those books! That's why I'm laughing!

[lil-m-moses.livejournal.com]

They're a hell of a lot denser than anything King's ever done, too.

I'm a sucker for historical intrigue and anything that smacks of steampunk, but in my biased opinion they're also way more gooder.

I like to call it historical science fiction. =)

[cyranocyrano.livejournal.com]

I... don't know if I've hit any science fiction elements yet. Are they well hidden?

[lil-m-moses.livejournal.com]

More like historical fiction meets scientific history, so that's where I got "historical science fiction." It's historical, it's science, and it's fiction!

Ah! Gotcha. (:
