So I was really wanting something new to read... I just can't always wait for the next exciting Vlad adventure! I just got finished reading "The Birth of Venus." It was good. I enjoyed the art references as well as the political aspects of the 1400s in Florence. I just really enjoyed the actual read too. I took the time to relax and read during my lunch breaks -to take a little me time. It's a nice way to refresh.
Reading is a good way to keep myself entertained while Russ plays his video games and I can just sit and enjoy his company too. I feel more relaxed after reading than after just sitting on my bum watching TV. I get to feel engaged. And while I'm not a speed reader by any means, I'm glad I can take my time to develop the pictures in my imagination and experience the fluidity of the language used that is often lost in today's conversations.
Hopefully I can find more authors that have the witty humor that I love in Steven Brust. Any suggestions?
