I just finished Doomsday Book. I think I finally understand why people are so gaga over Connie Willis a bit better now.

PS: I think necrotic is going to be my new favorite word.

She's pretty unpredictable -- I think of that as being her best.

Ga! Ga! Ga! I take it you'd already read some of her stuff and not cared for it so much? Personally, I love Doomsday Book, but it was her short stories that sold me on her. What of hers have you read?

Yay!

I so need to finish that. I started reading it just before I started at the UW, got about halfway through, and never made it back to the book.

What I read was excellent. I still have imagery from that that I play with.

I really enjoyed Doomsday Book and went on to read others of hers until I got to Passage which bored the heck out of me and I found wholly unsatisfying, especially when the abrupt shift in the storyline happened about two-thirds of the way through.

when I think back on how she writes dialog between romantically involved couples, I think of you and Vixy...
