So look, here's another entry. I'm gracing you all with real thoughts this time, too. ::rolls eyes at self::
So I think I've been in a bad mood lately because of the romance novels I read. Those damn things, they put the idea in your head that after tragedy comes perfection and love and happiness, but it's just not true in the real world. And sure there is some love, and if you're lucky enough to find it, you're not as satisfied with it as you should be because, well, that idea is in your head that there is better, that it should be more magical and fated, truly romantic. We've been poisoned by these fairy tales.

i met someone a while ago who hailed from hempfield, pa. i thought that it had to be the coolest town ever but she told me that it was kinda lame.
So you want to read Laurell K. Hamilton, that's cool. If you like mystery, detective kind of books you'll probably like her. I'm more partial to the Anita Blake series, but Merry Gentry is a detective (although the first book in that series only talks about it for the first few chapters... haven't read any after the first yet) and if you read Anita, whatever you do, start with the first book in the series (Guilty Pleasures)... unless you're more into reading about sex than character evolution and plot lines, then I'd suggest a more current book, like Narcissus in Chains, Cerulean Sins, or Incubus Dreams, which I haven't read yet.
The book you're reading sounds pretty cool. I might have to check it out.
bpd: Well, I can't argue with that.
