book returns

[snugglekitty]

Today I am returning five books to the library that I have only read part of. That makes me very sad. This is a sign of unwellness for me.

Anyway, the books are:

_Memories, Dreams, Reflection_ by Jung (a suggestion by gato_preto, and it's great but dense)
_Fool_ by Christopher Moore (weird juxtaposition of the serious and absurd)
_Fire Watch_ by Connie Willis (short stories - two of them I didn't like and that slowed me down)
_The Luxe_ by Anna Godbersen (this should be a short fluffy read, don't know why it's not)
_Beyond the Deepwoods_ by Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell (didn't get far enough to draw any conclusions)

Some of them I've read half of, some I've read a few pages of. But, the books are due today and the overdue fines have been piling up, so back they go.

I love the short story "Fire Watch" by Connie Willis, partly because it feels like the sort of thing that I would write, if I wrote SF. "The people who lived in olden times are PEOPLE, damn it, and the most important thing you can do for history is to figure out how it felt to be them."

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't manage to finish books that you want to finish. I hope this is just a batch of books that didn't particularly grab you, rather than a trend towards your being unwell.
