Better than expected...

Elizabeth Redfern's Auriel Rising. It's highly decent, since none of my favorite authors have been good enough to put out books lately. However, I'm already six thirteen chapters in and will be done by the end of my week's commutes.

So.

Recommend what I should read next!

Hmm, 'Bolt of Fate' is the only one I haven't tried. I enjoyed the other two a great deal. *notes*

Bolt of Fate is non-fic (as is In the Blink of an Eye, also to be commended) about how Ben Franklin's fakery about the flying of a kite in the rain may have saved the American Revolution.

Are you looking for a particular genre or just anything?

Oh, just anything as long as it's literate. I'm not looking for mystery or romance.

You may have ready any or all of these:

"West with the Night" by Beryl Markham
"I served the King of England" by Hrabal
"A Coin in Nine Hands" by Margeurite Yourcenar
"Memoirs of Hadrian" by M. Yourcenar
"The Onion Girl" by Charles De Lint
"A Room of One's Own" by V. Woolff
"Fingersmith" by Sarah Waters

Also, I'm about to enter the MFA program at Sarah Lawrence. Any words of wisdom? Did you take electives at Brandeis?

I kept my head down and tutored a lot. :) Umm. One mistake I did make was taking too many far-flung interesting classes, actually. They tell you that the point of higher higher ed is to explore and feel your freedom, but damn, don't explore too far from the center, it just gets exhausting. (I took a lot of Structuralist and other French symbolism.)

I'm contemplating taking more Classical Greek. My novel relies heavily on The Bacchae and there is a course that works on a translation. So that sort of makes sense and builds on what I've already done. Hmmmm. Yes, am hoping to teach too. :) thanks.

Oooh, Charles de Lint! I must find a good place to buy used paperbacks in this godforsaken hellhole.
