I fully intend to make a real entry when I brain starts functioning. Like, soon.

Lifted from many people on my friend's list:
1) Go to my userinfo and pick five of my interests that you would like me to explain.
2) Reply to this post with the five you pick.
3) I will attempt to explain why they are interesting to me.
4) If I respond to you, you must post this in your journal as well, and respond to queries about your interests.

I'll do it later. I don't want to do two meme posts in a row.

So, Blankets is on my Amazon.com wish list, 'cause 68 items wasn't enough. Where's the line between pastime and addiction, anyway?

P.S.: in searching your Interests for this meme, I saw Octavia Butler, which I hadn't noticed before. I just read Parable of the Sower this summer, and it's kinda haunting me (in a good way). Is her other stuff any good?

About ten miles back that way.

Of Butler's I've only read Parable of the Sowers, Parable of the Talents, and Wild Seed. I agree with you about the haunting aspect of her writing, particularly when it comes to the weird ying/yang pull of the main characters in Wild Seed (which I recommend). Whenever I head to the library her stuff is out. I keep meaning to pick up some more of her work.
