May's reading

[geekchick]

Ah, I managed to temporarily break the yarn habit and get back into reading. In the last month, I've finished off (with little to no commentary from me this time):

• Angels and Visitations: A Miscellany, Neil Gaiman. A birthday gift from a friend. Various short fiction, non-fiction and poems.
  
• The Angel of Darkness, Caleb Carr. Another book featuring characters from The Alienist and set in turn-of-the-century New York. I note there's a new Caleb Carr book out involving Sherlock Holmes. Oh yes, it will be mine. Once I make a dent in the giant stack of unread books here.
  
• Snow White, Blood Red and Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears, edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling. Updated versions of fairy tales by people like Tanith Lee, Neil Gaiman, Jane Yolen, Nancy Collins, Joyce Carol Oates
  
• One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism, Joseph Goldstein.
  
• Clean House, Clean Planet, Karen Logan.
  
• The Pleasure of Finding Things Out: The Best Short Works of Richard P. Feynman It would've been worthwhile for his stories of his experiences at Los Alamos and Oak Ridge alone. (Said stories are both entertaining and vaguely terrifying).

Now I have to add Angels and Visitations, Snow White, Blood Red, Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears, and The Pleasure of Finding Things Out to my wish list.

You are evil, talking about all this Gaiman and Feynman I haven't read. ;-)

I'll have to look up the fairy tale modifications. They sound neat. :-D I've read the Feynman (I think? I may have read those stories elsewhere, I'm reading the book of letters atm) and the Gaiman under its UK title (Smoke and Mirrors). Don't you love the Endless Sestina?
