I believe the actual holiday was yesterday, but whatever.

The book I am reading: Well, this morning I walked to the public library and read The Mischief of the Mistletoe in four and a half hours. I've been slowly making my way through The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, and to procrastinate last night I read the first two chapters of A Game of Thrones. I almost made an entry about how Catelyn Stark was from REDWOODS, OMG and why did nobody tell that and I hope I don't dislike her.

The book I am writing: None

The book I love most: asfalgfj. Okay, Beyond the Western Sea, Little Women, and At Swim, Two Boys. Three is close to one, right?

The last book I received as a gift: The Complete Sherlock Holmes

The last book I gave as a gift: I have no idea. It was probably giving old easy chapter books to some family friend.

The last book I bought myself: The Lies of Locke Lamora and The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing: The Kingdom on the Waves. Which wasn't breaking my "no buying books you've already read" rule, because the rule has a clause about fanfic plans.

The nearest book on my desk: All this semester's textbooks are in one pile on my desk. All the non-textbooks and a few of last semester's are on the shelf under the desk.

My Ilse/Perry fic is written like Vladimir Nabokov, and another fic came out as Dan Brown. The first chapter of Little Women apparently sounds like Mark Twain, but the first chapter of Alcott's "thriller" Behind a Mask sounds like Jame Joyce. The first chapter of Beyond the Western Sea sounds like the man who wrote Fight Club.

Edit: Jo's Boys also sounds like Twain, while Pauline's Passion and Punishment sounds like Poe. This thing is baloney.
