| Ok, finished The Mallorean (David Eddings) and Michael Tolliver Lives! (Armistead Maupin) today.
The latter made me cry a lot. And I almost forgave Mary Ann for being such a bitch in the last book. It was a lot like getting a postcard from old friends, catching up on how times have changed. I still am not happy about his tendancy to kill off characters between books, since it really doesn't give a chance for the reader to mourn the death. This was one one the reasons Signifigant Others bothered me so much. I would have felt better had John died during the book rather than a few years prior to the start.
Still, it was good to see Mouse and Anna Madrigal again.
EDIT:
Ugh, just realized Michael Tolliver Lives! was the last book I had out of the library. I have 2 on the hold shelf, but the library doesn't open before I have to be at work.
Which means I can read one of my Shadowrun novels or try to get into Christopher Rice's A Density of Souls. Most of the rest of my library is too fresh in my memory to read atm. |
But Mona...no way. It never happened. In my selective psychosis, Mona is alive and well.
Plus I'd love to know more about how Wilhelm over in England is doing.
Of course we know that Michael was Maupin's fictional representation in the series, and that HIV treatment has vastly improved since then.
I like the fact the he introduced us to Jake, a FTM preop transsexual. Interesting choice.
More power to Mouse for being able to work around that.
