I'm just finishing up "The Road to Guilford Courthouse". I should be getting a new h/c of Susan Kay's "Phantom" any week now (hopefully); and will be re-reading Gaston Leroux's "Phantom of the Opera" in preparation for a trip to see ALW's play on Broadway. "The Descent of Woman" is kind of staring me in the face, too. Civil war books up the Wazoo............ which is probably a river someplace down south.
Oh my goodness. Yet another Phan on this board? My, what a small world. Have you read Kay's book before? If you haven't, I think you'll find yourself in for a treat.
Hmm...let's see. What am I reading these day? (Other than CW) I just started The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde, the third in his Thursday Next series. I've got the 4th one as well, Something Rotten. They're wonderfully witty, something between fantasy, detective fiction, and literature, and are just plain a hoot to read. I came across the first one, The Eyre Affair, a couple years ago on the bargain table at a local book store, and couldn't put it down. One of my favorite scenes in that one was the performance of Shakespeare's Richard III, done up a la The Rocky Horror Picture Show, complete with audience participation.
Margana, if you ever want to talk POTO, let me know. I can refer you to a great discussion board. It's a smallish one, only about 40 members, but they're a great group of ladies and a couple of gents.
