Not really a book-book, but "The Murders in Rue Morgue" by Edgar Allen Poe

Auguste Dupin is one of my favorite characters.

I got about half way through the first book in the LotR series before I just couldn't read anymore. The hobbit was really good in my opinion, but for some reason I just couldn't read LotR. He spends like every other page describing some landscape and I'm just like o.O ok move on with the story please...

I honestly think that's the best part about the series. The detailed character and scenery development are the best part about Tolkien.

This being December, I am reading through Everyman's Pocket Classics' Anthology of Christmas Stories. These are a collection of authors throughout the ages ranging from Charles Dickens to Alice Munro. I'm on Nikolai Gogol's Night Before Christmas, which is about this blacksmith trying to win over the town Aphrodites against the opposition of her father and the devil, who put out the moon. Also, his mother is a man-juggling witch with the hots for the local farmer.

I also am reading The Fellowship with intent to pay attention this time. A lot of it reads more like a field guide than an actual novel. I need to get on Ngyao Marsh's Christmas themed novel. There's a book of murder mysteries set at Christmas called "Murder for Christmas" that has some authors that I need to check out.

Currently.. I am reading a book called "Catland; Feline Enchantment and The Making of the Modern World", by Kathryn Hughes. It's an exploration on the life of Louis Wain, and the social history of cats in England. It's not quite a biography; but it does cover the life and times of Wain, and how that might have influenced his artwork of cats. If you're not familiar, you ought to become; absolutely fantastic artworks! You can see many of them here, alongside a short biography way better than I could sum up here; https://catland.distin.org/




I'm also reading a less enticing book; "Electric Dreams; On Sex Robots and the Failed Promises of Capitalism" by Heather Parry, and I feel I'm about to facepaw so hard that I high-five the wall. I was frankly disappointed to find how little the author knew about robots as a whole - I was excited to read something focused on the same discussions we've been having for decades, and the author makes some very salient points, but it's frankly just that the concept of the robot is used as a vessel for a line of points which do not quite add up to a whole.

... That, and I'm reading a novelisation of Red Dwarf  XP

ZARA-RA!!

Oooh I love Louis Wain's art! Might think about looking into that book :3

I'm currently ready Abroad in Japan by Chris Broad ^^; I'm a tiny bit of a fan! But good on you ZaraRa for bringing up reading! Currently sounds like I have it with me, right now and at all times! In fact.... I've slowed down ready a lot lately D: I think I'm a bit overwhelming myself by joining a bunch of furry community sites xD

SOO MANY FURS!

I guess I've read a lot due to that :3 but there's something about a well written story, with the words placed just right, that cannot be beat.

My partner had read that one - they had thoroughly enjoyed it! I ought to check it out myself; they had done the audiobook version as they do a lot of walking in the mornings - I'm more of a diehard paperback fan  XD

Oooh I love Louis Wain's art! Might think about looking into that book :3
I highly recommend it! It digs deep into the 'how' and 'why', without erring into the disrespectful - I can often find myself getting bogged down by a lot of Wain biographies - how he must have been 'insane' and how he 'slipped into insanity', and it's just an absolute bore -- and a load of disrespect on his name! I was very much delighted to find that insofar, there's been none of that in this one.

And.. I've started reading another thing on the side... Ho hum; I've started re-reading the Dark Horse Astro Boy manga again~ I couldn't help myself! I'm on Volume 5 right now.

ZARA-RA!!
