reading wednesday

Look, it was Wednesday when I started typing.

what I am reading right now: Blood Oranges, by Caitlin R. Kiernan writing as Kathleen Tierney. (Typo I corrected: writhing as Kathleen Tierney.) I am not very far into it, but so far this is an absolutely brutal takedown of paranormal romance starting from the basic premises of the subgenre-as-she-is-labeled-these-days. The protagonist has also referred to Stephanie Meyer, within the first forty pages, as 'that Mormon git'. I am enjoying it a great deal.

what I plan to read next: some set of: Zuleika Dobson, Max Beerbohm (on loan from nineweaving, and one should not keep loaned books forever); Heretical Empiricism, Pier Paolo Pasolini; The National Uncanny: Indian Ghosts and American Subjects, Renée L. Bergland.

what I recently finished: Dhalgren, Samuel R. Delaney.

( Cut for those who have not read it, as this is not a structured review so much as unordered thoughts. )
