Jun. 28th, 2006 05:18 pmWait 50 minutes, weight 171, BP 100/58, heartbeat good, head down, argument about "waspy" vs. "Polish" names for Dillo ongoing. Maybe we should just name the kid Dillo and have done with it.
Books read:
Loretta Chase, Isabella.
Loretta Chase, Knaves' Wager.
Loretta Chase, The Sandalwood Princess.
All vintage late 1980s. Reading them in swift succession made me less appreciative than I otherwise might have been; I found the heroes tended to be a bit overbearing and the heroines a bit dim/driven by emotion/in need of rescue. Knaves' Wager especially made me a bit pissy - nobody should fall in love with someone who is so much of an asshole. Despite these failings, the characters resembled actual humans, the setting was mostly historically accurate, and the writing capable - all, I suspect, more common in those days than now.
