I actually have another LJ for posting book reviews, but I've been ignoring it for the last few months--That will change. This whole waking up to fandom again blind-sided me. I am enjoying it with a fierceness that I haven't felt for a long time.
I though about doing a book list here as a main post, but I've decided not too. Mainly because my reading tastes are so eclectic that there are no commonalities to be found here for readers simply looking for a 'good read'. My book lists would make me come off as a pompous twit, or worse, A show-off pompous twit, and I don't want to go there.
I read about 400 books a year. It's my job to be reasonably well read. So one passion feeds another and I keep reading to the bursting point. There will come a time when fan-fiction temporarily ceases to satisfy, it has happened (to me)twice so it will probably happen again. But this time around I'm trying to keep a better balance. I really do understand your need for a fan-fiction dearth. Between us we have been reading fan-fiction for over sixty years. That is why I am so thankful for your editing help especially if you are in a resting period.
As for travel, V3 does quite a lot, but not me. I hope to be in the mountains for leaf change again this fall. I can't make DragonCon it conflicts with work so my year is going to be fairly staid one.
I hope your melodrama eventually calms down. Tell the Spousal Unit hello for me.
