Two Books, But No Reviews

What a week! In my corner of the world, we’ve been enduring a sweltering heat wave, though it’s pouring now, so perhaps we’ll finally get some relief from the humidity.

I’ve read a couple of books, but will refrain from reviewing either. One was a lesbian fiction novel. I don’t review fiction for the following reasons:

  1. Beyond spelling and basic grammar, any review is subjective. The same could be said of non-fiction, but at least you can give some idea of the credibility of the author and the breadth and depth of the material.
  2. I don’t throw stones when I’m inside a glass house.

I also read Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate by Terry Eagleton. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my many years of hanging around the net, it’s to never, ever discuss religion, so no review on that one, either.  :)   Check out the reviews on Amazon.

The next book I’ll tackle is Elizabeth’s Women by Tracy Borman. Yes, another book about Elizabeth I, but given her long reign, there’s a lot to say. The book isn’t out in North America yet. I bought my copy from the Book Depository.

Other than that, I’ve finished the first draft of the September Rymellan story, and my computer has almost finished reading the fantasy story to me. So progress on both fronts.

I hope you’re enjoying your summer and that you’re somewhere cooler than I am!
