reading (A Dirty Job)

I finished Christopher Moore's "A Dirty Job" on Wednesday I think it was. I really like this book. It has the quintessential Christopher Moore way of describing the mundane in absurd ways and the absurd in mundane ways. It has Death! (Both with the big D and the little d). It has a cute goth girl and a helping of geeky losers. I thought it was stronger overall than "Bloodsucking Fiends". There was one bit of exposition where I wondered if it would ever end, but other than that it was a romping good time.

reading "Monster's Legacy"

I finished Andre Norton's "Monster's Legacy" last night. It's a young adult fantasy novel, written as part of a series by different authors. It is also a good example of why I avoid young adult books and why I avoid fantasy. I really didn't enjoy the writing, thought the plot was thin, and felt the characterization was painful.
