I ramble like a Welsh sheep in hiking boots :) I try to think of *something* to say, although I'm not sure what's harder, finding something to say about a good book or finding something to say about a mediocre one. Probably mediocre. At least the really bad ones I can rant and foam over.
Most of the books I'm reading at the moment - the W40K ones and most of the horror collections - are Rath's books. The rest are ones I've picked up off Amazon. A lot of them are quite old - Rath's horror collections are mostly from the seventies and early eighties - but the Wordsworth Editions [Broster here, The Bell in the Fog, The Tangled Skein] are a new set, reprinting out-of-copyright Victorian supernaturals. I've always had a bit of a rule about not reading a book that's less than ten years old, but these out-of-copyright runs and "Best Of" runs have made a mockery of my system.
I haven't been to a library since I was ... eighteen? I stopped reading whilst I was at university, probably because I had so much to read for my course. Since then I've built up almost two shelves of unread books and I'm trying to get through them [I *dread* the Terry Pratchetts - I'm six or more behind and I'm not sure how the hell I'd review them].

Perhaps it was looking for the exit?
