[stylist] What are you Reading Right Now?

[Tessa]

I just reread for the nteeth time Spindle's End by Robin Mckinley, a 
retelling of the story of sleeping beauty. Her other stories beauty and rose 
daughter are retellings of beauty and the beast, it's interesting that she 
could create two different stories on the same fairy tale. I didn't care for 
Deerskin but I enjoy most of her other work.

I am also rereading Jurassic Park, trying to count the errors the author 
makes LOL. As I say I tend to be very detail oriented so if the character 
leaves home in a blue car and arrives at the hockey game in a brown van I 
want to know what's up with that. If you read Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon 
series you might notice that the dog tacco morphs through several breeds of 
dog over the series, kind of funny.
I had to laugh though as one of the ladies in our little local group caught 
me out in a glaring detail error, My excuse, I screwed up LOL.
Not reading anything serious right now, trying to work on my own materials.
Got to get reading though as I told goodreads I'd read 200 books this year, 
thank goodness for talking books, I think I'm at 173 or something so I'm 
thinking I'll make it.

: I first read 'Catcher in the Rye' in high school, when they forced us to,
: andI remember disliking it.
:
: Fast forward  25 years, to when my own kids were in high school and I'd
: developed a much deeper appreciation for the written word. I read every 
book
: they had to read, plus most of the books on their summer lists.
:
: So when I read 'Catcher' a second time, I could see that Salinger was
: painting a portrait of an angsty teenager. Holden doesn't come across that
: way accidentally--it is quite intentional. I immediately read it again, 
and
: studied Salinger's sentence and paragraph structure, and it's really quite
: brilliant. He creates paragraphs where Holden says or thinks something in
: the first sentence, then things get muddled and he completely contradicts
: himself in the last sentence of the paragraph.
:
: And after all, isn't that a large part of being a teenager, then and now?
: Trying to figure out who you are and what you think, all while being
: confused much of the time.
:
: Salinger took ten years to write that book, and in my opinion, it was well
: worth it.
