fiercebunnybooks read in may.
Mostly reread stuff.
XXXholic, vol 2 by Clamp. Cute manga. Love the artwork. Amused that one of the main characters appears to be habitually smoking opium. *coughs* Um, not that drugs are funny.
The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman. Wonderful children's book, sort of an atheist's response to the Narnia Chronicles. Lyra's an awesome character (reread)
The Subtle Knife by Phillip Pullman. 2nd part of the trilogy. Introduces Will (how allegorical!), another great character. (reread)
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Decided to reread this after the movie came out.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams
Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams. Especially liked the bit where Arthur learns to fly.
So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish by Douglas Adams. This is my 2nd favorite book in the series (the first being my favorite obviously). It's the closest the series comes to a happy ending. Arthur falls in love with Fenchurch and finally gets to do something besides be befuddled.
Actually, all the Adams books were in one huge omnibus, but I'm listing them seperately because it looks like I read more that way :D I didn't reread Mostly Harmless because it wasn't included. (I bought the omnibus before MH came out; the title The More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide is now sadly inaccurate, but that's fine with me because I don't care that much for the 5th book anyway.) I was planning to read MH, but then decided I couldn't be arsed.
Green Darkness by Anya Seton. So-so story about forbidden love and *cough* reincarnation. Lots of Tudor history though.
Victoria Victorious by Jean Plaidy. The life of Queen Victoria. Not as annoying as I thought she would be, although it does get a bit tiresome when she goes on and on about how great Prince Albert(in a can!) is. Actually, now that I think about it, she's very repetitive in general, so while it is a good read, probably not my favorite Plaidy book.
