Reading

[pameladean]

I'm still working on STEALING THE ELF-KING'S ROSES, whereby we see that it has not got the grabbing power of the Young Wizards books or the Door Into books, for me. I'm quite liking it, though. I also finally finished A PRIDE OF HEROES, which is remarkably crammed with incident for such a short book; and went back to ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE, which I abandoned when discovering that PRIDE takes place earlier in the career of the same protagonist. Peter Dickinson has such flair.

I usually read much more than this. I conceive that I must be reading a lot of web-logs. (YES! I have hyphenated that word! I hate "blog" as a short form of it! Bah! Blog is an alarmingly pink concoction drunk at Minicon.)

Whoops. There goes the rest of my yearly allotment of exclamation points.

i don't like the word "blog" either. i refer to them as "weblogs." maybe i'll hyphenate now, a la you.

Raphael says the term used to be bicapped (that is, WebLog), and because of that Raphael's usual spelling was "web log," with the space, as you are doing. I always did like hyphens, though. I am always putting them back when copy-editors (hee!) take them out.
