Fun Fiction

[lph]

I'm re-reading the "His Dark Materials"-trilogy. I was feeling the strain of moving, fixing things up in a new house and planning a big trip, all through the darkest months of winter, and I really wanted to re-read my favourite fantasy books. Some of them I couldn't find after the move, some were tattered paperbacks. So I placed an order in Amazon for a nice set of the Narnia books, His Dark Materials and The Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper, and have had happy escapist reading for months :-)

I am reading The Lives of the Women Saints or something like that. Much of it is not fiction at least. Some of the bits are pretty interesting and some are entertaining. There seems to be a lot of repetition too. The most ancient and the most mystical ones make the best stories.

It was free for Kindle on Amazon and is seems like about a billion pages. The saints are listed by date through the year, and I'm only up to the late spring. I might not make it all the way to the end.
