What are you reading now? (Chapter 2)

[John_fi_Skye]

Lyrics, in translation:

Today I will meet a gentleman
He likes me so much he could eat me up
Soft parts and even hard ones
are on the menu

Because you are what you eat
and you know what it is

It is my part – no
My part – no
There that's my part – no
My part – no

The dull blade good and proper
I'm bleeding heavily and feeling sick
Although I have to fight to stay awake
I keep eating while in convulsions

It's just so well seasoned
and so nicely flambéed
and so lovingly served on porcelain
And with it, a good wine
and gentle candlelight
Yeah I'll take my time
You've got to have some culture

Because you are what you eat
and you know what it is

It is my part – no
My part – no
Because that's my part – no
Yes it's my part – no

A cry will ascend to heaven
It will cut through hosts of angels
Feather-flesh will shriekingly fall
from the top of the clouds onto my childhood

The Black Gryphon by Mercedes Lackey. Not far in yet (about on page 50 or so), but boy is stuff happening already: fast & furious is the first impression.

Just done: Remarkable creatures. The most remarkable chapter was the Mary and Louis Leaky one. She was a high school drop out and never would have found a brilliant career without Louis, and was more industrious than he was.

Arrows of the Queen by Mercedes Lackey. Over half of her Valdemar series now finished. I like them, even though they are more than a little predictable.
