Book Meme - Day 25
I need to stop neglecting the 30 days on books meme. I could say that the Batman/Dresden Files crossover I posted yesterday ate my life... which would be true, since it made me angst for the past couple of weeks--with an overdose of cosmic angst at the last minute because, if there's something I'm not good at, it's choosing a title. So I sort of lost two hours last night just looking for one that wasn't "The Amazing Adventures of the Wacky Wizard and the Cape Crusader" (which yes, beyourwings, it's an awesome title, but it'd be more fun if Harry himself--or probably Thomas--were to drop it within the story, but I digress).
As I was saying regarding the meme: I'll re-take it one question at a time again. Hopefully, I'll manage this time. There are only five questions left, anyway.
Day 25 – Any five books from your “to be read” stack
That should be easy. :D/
- Memoria de Dragón by Javier Negrete (That'd be Dragon Memory, I guess)
- A book about Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz by Margo Glantz (who recently won an award for her literary work in a Romance language)
- An anthology of short stories about the traditions surrounding the death of children in the Mexican countryside. This one has a story beyond both the morbidity and anthropological interest, and it has to do with how I learned about it and how I got my copy. For free. 8D I may tell it later after I read it.
- Luna cara de conejo by Teresa Valenzuela (Rabbit-faced Moon, again, would be my guess). A collection of theatrical plays for children. It's published by the Secretaría de Educación Pública (Mexico's Department of Public Education), so I'm being all judgemental about it and wary of the literary quality of this work. The SEP tends to favor stories with a strong moral they approve. Hey, I don't blame them, but their books also tend to be rather dull. So, yeah.
- Tales from the White Heart by Arthur C. Clarke.
