Two of my favorite children's books:
Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
A. A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh

Two of my favorite science fiction books:
Alfred Bester, The Stars My Destination
John Brunner, Stand on Zanzibar

Two literary fiction books I liked:
Donna Tartt, The Little Friend. Just finished this one, about a girl in Mississippi who decides to avenge the dead brother she never knew. I don't finish many 555-page books; it was worth it.
Geoff Ryman, 253. Experimental fiction: 253-word depictions of 252 tube passengers (and the driver) during seven and a half minutes in London. The web version is here.

Milne. Yisplease.

I'd also love the Bester and the Tartt.

And I'll take the McGregor, from the last batch.

Also, I got the latest batch of CDs. Yayyy!

What did you miss out on?

Bester and Tartt. Both are at the local library, which is a great excuse to never read them -- if I had them at home I'd need a better excuse.

I'm no stranger to the twisted logic of attention and possession, but I think I'm gonna go with "she called it first".

I hate to do this, but after I made that last post I realized I wasn't ready to part with the McGregor. I may come around before I move, though.

The others are yours, unless [livejournal.com profile] artname makes a compelling argument.

Oh, the usual, it's just Thursday in my apartment.
