Project BOTS! October Edition!

There is shame in the air today.  I have read very little this month.  I did a lot of rereads this month, though, and I suppose my FIVE books from last month make up for this.  Anyways, the only book that was new that I read this month wass...

"If on a Winter's Night a Traveler" by Italo Calvino.  This book was acquired for prelim NANO work, since I am doing Nano this November.  I'll have excerpts and synopses for you in a little while.

 Anyways, I absolutely love IoaWNaT.  It's in the second person, which is the perspective my NaNo will be in.  It also is about books, and unlike Shadow of the Wind, it's reeeeally good.  I like how it incorporates the start of ten different books, as Reader and Other Reader go around trying to finish them, but they just keep getting hooked on different books.  It's very interesting, a lot more better than I thought it was going to be.  I was just going to use it as reference for how to write in the second person present POV, and I ended up seriously enjoying it.

I also bought a number of other books, which I will list NOW.
"Player Piano" by Vonnegut, "The Golem and the Jinni" by Helene Wecker, "House of Dark Shadows" by Robert Liparulo, "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch, and "Geek Love" by Katherine Dunn.  Of those five extra books, I've only started Player Piano (for school) so... yea.....

I also read MacBeth, but I don't really think that counts since I didn't read it by choice, nor was it random.
