kraitForeigner! I am excited! (Even though I have the hardest time typing that title.)
Playing around on GoodReads has clearly done something to my book-appetite; I have knocked two novels off my To Be Read pile in the last week, one of which I liked very much. In fact, I liked it enough that the only surprising part of the About The Author list of authors she admires was how many of them I overlapped on -- practically all of them. :D I definitely wasn't surprised to find Patricia McKillip on her list; several times in my reading I thought that the prose reminded me of McKillip's writing. (So much so I had to go to GoodReads and create a "beautiful prose" tag!)
Now I suppose I should start working on reviews at GoodReads, or else on establishing some rough "finished on" dates for things I read way back in the day...
