W3rds

Five things I've been rubbing over my eyeballs of late [snitched unrepentantly from cavalorn]:

1. V for Vendetta - I wanted to read it before seeing the movie. I liked it well enough, but it didn't kick me in the head the way Miller's Batman: Dark Knight did. It did, however, catch the eye of the waitress at the sushi restaurant near the office, since she's an anime artist, from what I gathered.

2. Atlas Shrugged - This has been belabored previously and elsewhere. I'm not sure what annoys me more about Rand's characters - their preternatually acute perceptions of other's inner motivations, or the rigid, unbending, unnaturally austere codes of internal morality they ascribe to, which is the petard they hoist themselves on.

3. Sci-Fi collections (Hartwell's 10th annual, which made mention of jaylake's anthologies), and Dozois' 22nd (dammit, where's the 23rd?); about to be opened is a "greatest hits" from the first 20 Dozois collections.

4. Dirty Job - Christopher Moore's latest. Less funny and more thoughtful than his previous work, it's still a darn enjoyable (if quick) read. Any character whose next-to-last words are, "With really big tits," I have to like.

5. Ubersoft.net's archives - because the man is teh funny.

"V..." Fuck the book, see the movie. The book does not have Hugo Weaving in it, rolling out a sublime and masterful performance. You can read the book anytime, but this film will not be in theatres forever, and it should be seen on a big screen.
