highlyeccentricNote: I do not seem to have the thinking brain for december topics. Might catch up in January!
Currently Reading: Ha Jin, 'The Bridegroom', and a substantial amount of Harry Potter fanfic as a coping strategy for dealing with canon.
Recently finished: both Order of the Phoenix and Half Blood Prince, read by Stephen Fry. Order of the Phoenix remains bloated and unwieldy, but *was* better when consumed at oral reading pace rather than at 20 seconds per page. Harry only throws a tantrum approximately once every forty minutes, rather than every five, that way. Half Blood Prince remains *superb*, and I really appreciated the work put into the final chapter - I relised that it does in fact provide justification for one of my main problems with Deathly Harrows, the ridiculous rejection of all adult assistance.
To read next: Either Deathly Hallows or copious amounts of fanfiction or both will see me through the plane ride, or as much of the ride as my netbook will sustain.
