compulsions in fiction
15 Sep 2008 06:08 pmThis is only a sideways mention of a series I read, and it's not even a complete review because THE FREAKING IMAC IS DEAD AND I THINK I LOSTS ALLS MAH EBOOKS GUHHHHH which is really annoying, it's like having the lightbulb burn out in your library and suddenly your entire book collection is GONE.
BUT ANYWAY. I cannot quote to illustrate any points (or even to remind myself if I'm right/wrong in my recollections), so this is very elliptical way to only sort-of-recommend a series, got that?
A month or two ago I ended up perusing the online ebook-versions (late at night, natch) of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lilithsaintcrow's Watcher series. ( Which launches me into a semi-lengthy discussion in re when I read a series, half of me is reading the series -- and the *other* half of me is watching the author. )
Okay, so that's where my brain is at right now. For my next trick, my brain's going to be in the fridge, looking for dinner.
[if you read between the lines, that's the entire explanation about my quest for crack in the current wip, because bizarre psychological questions like these are my crack, baby.]
