Balancing Act
by John on Feb.20, 2010, under Main Stuff
Ever read more than one book at a time? Not, you know, with one in each hand. Dual-wielding books would be kind of obsessive and a little weird. I mean, reading a chapter of one, then jumping to another. It’s less weird than the fiction-akimbo scenario above, but still weird, particularly when your long-term memory starts to get fuzzy and blends the two books together. Weird, but funny, particularly when you fuse steampunk-alternate-historical-fiction and young-adult-coming-of-age with very-old-far-future-scifi.
When the brass automaton dumped Kyle because he wasn’t willing to go to the Sea of Tranquility on Saturday evening, I almost cried. Really.
