cislynI just finished reading Charles de Lint's Forests of the Heart, and I'm feeling as though I've just woken up from a very strange dream. I enjoyed the book - I've enjoyed all of his books that I've read so far, to one degree or another - but I immersed myself so much into it that I'm feeling oddly groggy now. It feels like it should be eight in the morning, not nearly six at night, and me with no idea what to make for dinner, and lots of chores sitting still undone. I wasn't a complete slacker today - I did do a decent amount of work for work and work on some gaming resources - but I still feel funny.
I like the concept in de Lint's works of a heart-home, the singular place in the spirit world where each person is most at home. I've said that before, I think, but it's a key reason why I keep coming back to his works. That, and I find the light mixture of fantasy and reality refreshing after diving into heavier tomes of magic and high fantasy.
The sunset is very pretty. All perfect pinks and blues. ~shakes her head~ Sunset... yeesh. Where did the time go, other than poured into reading that book?
I've been skimming LJ this week, grabbing bits and pieces here and there, and missing more than I've caught, I'm certain. Next week (starting tomorrow - heh) will be a much more social one for me, with lots of people coming and going out of town, and our anniversary in the middle of the week, and things. I'll probably be missing in action for much of that, too.
I think it's just about time to pull Todd from the vise-like grip of his office chair and off to do something far more frivolous than work. Wish me luck...
