October novel-reading

[garran]

Stubbornly, there is some.

William Gibson, Spook Country
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters
George R. R. Martin, Fevre Dream
Ellen Kushner, Swordspoint
Ellen Kushner, The Privilege of the Sword

This batch highlights what is perhaps an unavoidable flaw in my method with these posts, or at least it will if a particular regular commenter asks about the book that I expect them to, because I read that book way back at the beginning of the month, and now my impressions are much vaguer than they were at the time. I can probably find something to say, though.

I forgot all about this conversation, then FINALLY read Privilege over my Christmas trip and had a very similar reaction to yours: it "won me over totally, so much and so viscerally so that I've been kind of at a loss as to how to write about it." I am going to have to write my own review, now that the 24-hour get-some-distance period has elapsed.

Anyway, I've been running around telling all my friends who ever liked the Tamora Pierce books that they HAVE to read this one, and no they can't borrow my copy, I have to read it again.
