Hooray!

I have just been curled up with Under Heaven, the latest book from my much-loved Favouritest Author Ever (that would be Guy Gavriel Kay), and I'm happy as a clam. I don't know what it is about his writing, but I can only ever stand to read a few chapters at a time because it's so... intense, I suppose. His style isn't overwrought or purple, but he's a master of eliciting emotions, and his books are never easy reads, emotionally speaking.

Mm. So good.

If you don't know about this great feature of John Scalzi's weblog, check out Guy Gavriel Kay's "The Big Idea" post about Under Heaven. It's a delightful promotional service Scalzi offers - authors with new books out are invited to submit a post talking about the things that triggered their work. It's really bad for my wallet but good for my mind. :)
