Recent Reading

It seems only appropriate that, if I'm going to inflict upon the world my own fiction, that I should at least let said world know the kind of fiction that I have been reading, so they know whom to blame. And, in case anyone cares, I'll be rating them, too, as though my opinion means something.

Over the past couple of months, I have read:

Smoke and Mirrors, by Neil Gaiman (short story collection) (****)
American Gods, by Neil Gaiman (*****)
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, by Susanna Clarke (*****)
Homeward Bound, by Harry Turtledove (***)
Anna Karenina, by Leo Tolstoy (*****)
