Cassandra is on page 40 of 324 of Waiting for the Machines to Fall Asleep

"The Rats": Still love this story, but I'm a little disappointed that Boel Bermann didn't contribute with a new short story.

"Melody of the Yellow Bard": I was unable to finish this one. Stilted English and quite a few mistakes. When the author on page 13 switches from first person POV to third person and then back again, I was done.

On a scale from one to ten, how horrible an idea is it to keep reading this book before turning in to sleep? I'll go with ten. Probably.

Cassandra is on page 480 of 870 of Mary Queen of Scotland and The Isles

The problem with books about famous historical figures is, especially when the author has successfully made me care about the characters, that I tend to get stuck because I don't want to reach the inevitable end.

Cassandra is on page 545 of 1091 of Krig och fred

Halfway through! Though, I suspect I will be reading it all through May because there are a couple of other books I have to read between. It's not as if I can stuff it in my purse and bring it with me on the bus...

I've got quite farther along than last time I tried my hand at this one. I actually rather like it :-)

Claire's such a hypocrite.

I think this chapter is the hardest to get through, because he's such an abusive asshole.

Nä, vad då? Det är väl hur normalt som helst att en kille får ett vredesutbrott för att en tjej är oskuld. #denhärbokengermighuvudvärk

"... på fel plats i fel tid och i fel århundrade dessutom" - århundrade är tydligen inte tid. Var fanns redaktören?

Cassandra is on page 304 of 363 of En geishas liv

What the hell? Just realised that they had translated from the German edition and not the original, which is... no. Just no.

Cassandra is on page 90 of 363 of En geishas liv

Not even a third into the book and I'm already disappointed. I pretty much bought it because it's billed as a story about a geisha, but her life as a geisha is described in a rushed manner and now she's quit being a geisha.

Cassandra is on page 21 of 295 of Lavinia

I'm putting this one aside for now. Not because it's bad, because it's the opposite of bad - it's really lovely, actually, and as good as Le Guin usually is - but because I just can't get into the right state of mind for reading it right now.
