January was a boom month; February not so much. That said, I travelled through much of February, wrote a lot, and let’s face it, some of this material was fairly dense work. Fascinating stuff, but hard to get through.
February 2008
Non-Fiction:
A World Full of Gods – John Michael Greer
The Letters of Abelard and Heloise – Betty Radice, translator
Hildegard of Bingen’s Book of Divine works, with Letters and Songs – Matthew Fox, editor
Fiction:
Tigerheart – Peter David
David’s book hasn’t been released yet – I picked up a galley at the AWP Conference in Manhattan. It’s a fun romp of a book; it retells the Peter Pan story, which is also the growing-up story, and he does it with a narrator who comes in and out of the story. This lends the work a “read-aloud” feel; it is as if this narrator is reading the story to his or her child. I’m not one for a lot of superlatives, but it was a lot of fun to read, and I think it appropriate for young and adult readers alike.
