Reading lists--at the end of last year, a lot of people were posting their 2007 reading, and I looked on in envy. I read a lot, a whole lot, but can't seem to get around to listing it. I'll try right now just to list what I've read since Christmas, since I can't remember what I read only since New Year's:

Ursula LeGuin--Gifts and also Voices
Will Shetterly--The Gospel of the Knife
Gene Wolfe--Pirate Freedom
Cormac McCarthy-No Country for Old Men
Khaled Hosseini--The Kite Runner
Glen Duncan--I, Lucifer (started, possibly to finish later)
Ken Wilber--The Simple Feeling of Being (for yoga group--reading in bits now and then, may or may not read whole thing)
Ian McEwan--Atonement

And re-read Golden Compass (you can see a movie theme going here). I started and dropped Peter Hoeg's The Quiet Girl, but maybe will pick it up again--also didn't do well with McEwan's Saturday.

So I may or may not post more lists--but do promise to gush and squee over the books that really delight me.

But what I really enjoyed most recently was the movie Juno--very good acting and writing, funny and moving. Loved seeing Allison Tanney being loving and badly dressed (a nice change from West Wing character).

I haven't seen that, but it's possible. He's married to Emma Bull, who wrote War for the Oaks. I prefer her as a writer, have to say.

I think they both used to write it.

...Hmm, but apparently not, if you can go by 1 page of Google results. @>)
