Fantasy vs. Reality

Still reading Les Mis, meticulously, and taking notes.

In the meantime, we started listening to a book on CD on our daily drives -- the first in the Raven Cycle Series by Maggie Stiefvater. It was interesting, and I wanted to know what happened next, so then I binge-read the 4 books. The series is fantastical but the main characters are well-drawn and believable. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.

Before that I has picked up Neil Gaiman's American Gods at the library and started it. Not sure if I will finish it, but maybe. I am interested in the story but the writing is too....boy. Maybe I prefer women writers, maybe I prefer YA when it comes to fantasy, maybe it's just not my thing. But maybe I will finish it anyway just to see what happens. But like with Game of Thrones, I will not be watching the TV adaptation. Boy writing gone TV is definitely not my thing.
