More from "Things Meej Never Tires Of":

Sorafune, TOKIO. This is one of those songs that makes me restless, want to run and jump and yawp gleefully.

I have news! I am waiting until it is official.

THINGS I AM CURRENTLY READING:

- The Escapement, K.J. Parker. (Reread)
- Iron Council, China MiƩville (still reading for the first time; I got distracted from it mid-September and ... only recently picked it up again, I do believe I'll have to start over. Unlike Perdido Street Station, not everything in this book is filfy, but that is because this is his homage to Zane Grey, so everything is gritty and dessicated instead. I love Judah Low.)
- The Elegance of the Hedgehog, Muriel Barbery (for the first time).

I like Iron Council a lot more than Elegance of the Hedgehog, but both are good times. I think they are good to read side by side because Mieville always kind of puts the delicate modern depressive fashionably downbeat ending in perspective.
