Booksbooksbooks!

Guys I have the worst head cold. Actually, no, I've had worse, but still, not fun. I haven't been to school all week, I may or may not have an assignment due tomorrow, I'm not really sure... sick Kim become's highly unintelligent. Sorry, yeah this is going to be a short and highly illogical post. I'm using the backspace/delete key waaaayyy more than normal. Random too. Cohesive thoughts don't work well right now :S

However being sick I've had lots of time for TV, movies, and reading! Yay books! I just finished Goliath by Scott Westerfeld and it was FANTASTIC!!!!! For those of you who don't know it's the third in a trilogy, starting with Leviathan, of steampunk alternate history of WWI and they are SO GOOD. Goliath was in my opinion the perfect ending to the series, probably my favorite of the three. You should read them if you haven't. That is my highly sophisticated recomendation of the day.

Next I'm going to read Maureen Johnson's Name of the Star. I'm so excited for it! It arrived in the mail the same day as my diploma and I'm gonna be honest I was more excited for the book.

My only other reading lately has been excerpts of a translation of one of Marco Polo's travel logs, focussing around the Mongols and Genghis Kahn and all that fun ancient societal stuff. It's for history class of course, though some of it is actually kind of interesting. Also my Prof loves Marco Polo. Also my Prof is like a cross between Horace Slughorn from Harry Potter and Vizzini from the Princess Bride, it kind of makes class a lot more interesting.

Okay it's time for me to retreat back to blankets, humidifiers, kleenex, and Halls.

Keep healthy, best wishes, DFTBA,
