1. I'm seriously behind in my reading-actual-novels but since I moved in the flat I've picked up aforementioned reading so I might catch up, eventually \o/ Atm I'm reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel and if you're looking for something a bit different, I'd definitely rec that book. I'm halfway through it and I don't know whether I want to rush til the end or make it last as much as possible. All I know is that I absolutely adore it and now I want to read more of Martel's work. I think I'll pick Self next.

Though before that I need to give Michael Nava a try *nods* Hee so many novels to read!

2. This is the time of the year when I'm - again - contemplating joining challenges even though I know - me and the rest of the universe, maybe - how bad I am with them. But! The last challenge I tried was a success since I finished the fic I was supposed to write and I'd love to turn that success into an actual trend. Of course, I'm also running the risk of actually cancelling said success and going back to my usual response which is, well, not to write any.

I think I need to see if I can write the SPN fic for turps33 first. If I do win at that friendly meme/challenge, then maybe I'll be able to play in a bigger playground.

Possibly I'm thinking too much about the whole writing thing. And possibly I should shut up, open Word and just write something, anything... twould be freeing, that's for sure.

3. I'm up-to-date with both Kyle XY and The 4400 \o/ Incidentally, I think the amount of love I have for Kyle XY is a bit on the ridiculous side... the sad thing is, I don't even care and keep mentally clapping my hands and bouncing each time I watch a new episode. Kyle XY is the deceptive new girl at school. You see her and you think she's very cute and nice but maybe a bit, how to say it, lame. Still, you do befriend her because did I mention she was cute and nice? And then one day you realise there's more to her than meets the eyes and she actually has some depth and also she's a bit kinky and, wow, you never thought you'd have so much fun with her! And you keep going to her because as 'lame' as she might look, there's just something in her that keeps calling to you, that keeps pushing your buttons. And boy do you love it!

I adore the way you describe why you love Kyle XY! Although I never saw beyond the lame myself, I find your views very poetic. *g*

I recommend Michael Nava. He's a wonderful writer. His Henry Rios series is interesting, deep and Rios is a full rounded character. I suggest you read series in order http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Nava

I ran thru the series last year in a few months.

You too, eh?

You're the second one to reccommend his Henry Rios series. A friend recc'ed it last week and I decided to add the novels to my To Buy list, then when I went over amazon, I realised those books were, in fact, already in my To Buy list. Only I never got around to buy them. I guess it was fate *g*

I'll wait a little to get them but I definitely will *nods*
