meme-age

After having lots of inspiring fanfic talk the past few days, I really feel like I should be writing. Instead, I'm doing book memes.

How did you like 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime'?

American Gods is really good. If you liked Good Omens, you will like it. (Not that they're the same, but...)

Of course, To Kill a Mockingbird is also very good. Hope you have at least seen that movie.
