I'm not sure what really grabbed me about in the first place but it was the kind of horrendously-written, generic pulp novels which one so often associates with the fantasy genre (and for which the genre is rightly derided).

Better than what I've been reading, which have been boring ass non-fiction recently.
Like I have a book on the history of alcohol in America from 1790 to 1840, and next I'm reading about the layout of shopping buildings and why people pick certain brands over other brands.

I've got a stack of non-fiction I want to get through, including a biography of Thomas Jefferson (no spoilers please!) and a sizable tome on the history of China. I also put down a book on consumerism and branding, which I can't seem to find anywhere. Then, of course, I have a copy of Stephen King's On Writing that I've meant to get back to. All of which I expect to be impeded by several horror anthologies currently in my possession, as well as a copy of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories which I found while looking around for said book on consumerism.

At any rate, if you find the non-fiction you're reading so dull, why are you reading it? =p

I'm married.

It was an interesting few days.

Family made the experience terrible and great. Either way somehow it all got done, and I'm in bed with Scarlett listening to the rain.

Grats.
