I read to escape: fantasy and scifi to escape reality, non-fiction to escape ignorance, smut to escape ... actually that's probably reality as well ...

I need to read more and scroll fedi less. Building my "Want To Read" here first. Eventually I'll start putting in entries for the TBR pile, and then I'll ... who am I kidding? I'll die before I finish that one.

Dreaming (2021, DC Comics) 5 stars

My first dip back into the Dreaming for more than 15 years. Picked it up randomly without regard for where it falls in the timeline. I loved it. Much has changed, but the parts that mattered to me remain. Fairy tales to entertain, thrill, and creep you out. And maybe even question if doing your post-grad is worth it ... Haters of comics please keep your seats: this isn't your stop.

Snow Crash (EBook, 2003, Bantam Books) 3 stars

Only once in a great while does a writer come along who defies comparison -- …

I don't know if I'd read it again

4 stars

I read it in the 90's. It was magnificent. I don't know if I'd read it now. There's not enough time, and there are so many newer things to read. Read it for research, if you want to know where the genre came from?

The House of Shattered Wings (Dominion of the Fallen, #1) 3 stars

Feels like a first book

3 stars

Reads like a long introduction to something new. Kept me interested enough to finish it--and I definitely want to know where the author went, from here. Possible that once I've read a couple more, I'll say that this one could've been skipped?
