Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.
Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Finished The Butcher Boy and The Sun Also Rises and have since chewed my way through Animal Farm, A Scanner Darkly, The Quiet American, Maus and some other things I can't think of, my brain is too fried.
Currently rereading Frankenstein, thinking of starting a dystopia binge once I'm done; Brave New World, Lord of the Flies, A Clockwork Orange, Fahrenheit 451, Never Let Me Go and, if I can find it, We.

Finished reading The Things by Peter Watts, which is basically The Thing from the alien's POV. It was... not what I expected. I mean, I was really pumped for reading it, 'cause it sounded like a good idea, but it just felt like a let-down. It was also a bit confusing, because I thought he was basing it off the novel version, but it was only towards the end that it was confirmed that he was writing with Carpenter's movie version in mind...
The ending was jarring and I felt like he just ran out of steam, so he just threw in a rape metaphor for a cheap, ominous ending. No thanks, I'll stick with John Campbell's original story.
oh shit, I didn't realise this was out, need to get this asap.

Currently I'm finishing off the last couple of chapters of The Lord of the Rings. It hasn't really sparked as much conlanging and worldbuilding inspiration as I'd hoped/expected but it's been a pretty enjoyable read nonetheless.
When I'm done with that I'll probably just go back to being intimidated by the ridiculous amount of books I've been stockpiling for about a year and a half now and making no attempt to actually read.
