subject: blast from the past
creeps in and looks around I'm currently reading Chaucer's Troilus and Creseyde in the original Middle English. Troilus is emo. Just thought you should know. Just another senseless rambling from your friendly neighborhood Bluebird. :) yeah you know you like it

In ancient days, when nobles performed deeds of strength, the glory of the spear-danes was told far and wide. Often Scyld, son of Sheaf, with bands of warriors, terrified the earls and deprived them of their land rights. In time, it came to pass that each of his neighbors over the sea was forced to pay tribute. That was a good king. hmmmmmm..... Şp♠Đę

subject: The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney

This is a wonderfully crafted and intensely written story. Set in 1867 among the stark backdrop of the Canadian tundra as winter closes in, it tells the story of a group of peoples search for a murderer and the answers they find to some older mysteries. Penney has an amazing ability to set you into the mind of her characters and show you, if even in a glimpse, of their guiding reason/ing.

Well worth the read. And the second reading.
