I have finished my first novel.....

[darkelf105]

I have finished the first novel in my one hundred books project, and am quite content. The story of Jane and Silver, the first robot who was human and the first human who loved him, was a moving story. It evoked such a large range of emotions in me, it is going to be a hard novel to describe. I will probably come back to it later, mostly because it is a cliche but not cliche story because Tanith Lee's writing and characterizations are astounding. I really felt for Silver and Jane, and when the employees of E.M. Ltd. came for Silver, I held my breath for about three pages. It has been awhile since I read novel that did that. But beyond saying it was a good read, I am having a hard time writing anything cogent about it. As I've said, I will probably come back to discuss it at some later date when my thoughts have had time to settle.
On the other, because I fell in love with Jane and Silver, I am not going to read "The Silver Metal Lover"'s sequel, mainly because it deals with Jane and Silver, but as their reincarnations. I am not ready to read about their incarnations, so I am taking "Metallic Love" off of my list and replacing it with "The Big Empty", which is a short novel about an apocalyptic world. I shall start that sometime later tonight and hopefully finish it by Tuesday. Maybe sooner. But for now, I must shower and go hang out with Ryan and Nicky.

Hmms. "The Big Empty" sounded promising, but apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic books usually aren't my thing. And it's all because of I book I read. I think it was called "The World Next Door" which I really liked, until they decided it would be fun to have characters get raped and murdered. I wasn't expecting it at all and hated it, because it was one of those times the author put it in, just to be an annoying bastard and it doesn't really serve any purpose.
