I have been listening to Garth Nix' book Lirael: Daughter of the Clayr lately. I am nearing the end of the book, and now I am considering two things: either buying a copy of Sabriel on iTunes, or seeking out another of Nix' novels at the library.
I am such a book addict.
I have recently gotten Tim hooked on Terry Pratchett, and now, just when I think I'm immune from the bibliomania, I rediscover Nix. It is, of course, mid-semester, and I have numerous materials to read, I have stared on the required reading for my master's exam next year, and I already have borrowed about four or five books from various friends to occupy any free time I can manage (which is, wonderfully, quite a lot).
Of course, the versions of Sabriel, et. al., that are available from the public library here are not in the original, but have been translated into German. Not to say that it's a bad thing, but still... part of the magic is Nix' writing style. It would be interesting to see how his works translate, however.
Okay, okay.... concentrate on what's in front of you, Jo. There will be plenty of time for fun reading soon.
