The Many Elements of Civilization
Persephone Wonders How Firebirds Taste
For those of you just discovering this part of my blog, the Friday Fragments lists what I’ve read over the past week. Most of the time I don’t include details of either short fiction (unless part of a book-length collection) or magazines.
The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list. If you’re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive recommendation list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.
Once again, this is not a book review column. It’s just a list with, maybe, a bit of description or a few opinions tossed in.
And I love hearing what you’re reading!
Recently Completed:
In the Forests of Serre by Patricia A. McKillip. Re-read. Lovely lush prose.
In Progress:
The Life of Greece by Will Durant. Audiobook. Moving into a focus on arts and letters. Having covered painting, sculpture, architecture, education, philosophy, poetry, we’re now just about done with drama. I’m sure I missed some topics.
Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse.
Also:
I’ve finished my review of the first 90,000 words of Wolf’s Soul and am making a billion teeny-tiny changes. That which does not kill the writer makes the word stronger!
