Fall of Door into Poppins
Feb. 19th, 2007 05:26 pmThe Door Into Summer, by Robert A. Heinlein
On the one hand, there are certain things that RAH does that drive me nuts, and those things are indubitably in evidence here. On the other hand, I love the cat parts and it made me laugh and the man was so damn inventive (and good at infodumping). Not my favorite of his, but I'm still glad I finally read it.

Mary Poppins, by P. L. Travers (reread)
I meant to have this as my by-the-bed comfort book for a while, but I love it so much (I don't even know how many times I reread it as a child) that I finished off the last 3/4 of it in one sitting this morning. I haven't read it since I was too young to cringe at some of the things that made me cringe this time round, but overall it held up admirably. I love how matter-of-fact its strangenesses are.

Fall of Knight, by Peter David
Fluffy finale (I think) of a 'return of Arthur' trilogy. I very much enjoyed this, but in the way I enjoy, say, Salvatore's Forgotten Realms novels. It was exciting and made me chuckle and gave moral satisfaction. Solid journeyman work.
