Fragile Things, originally uploaded by AMK.

Hi! I'm still here!

I seem to be unable to put together a few minutes to write an entry lately. Usually I can manage a five minute break at work to write something, but I've been busy and inspired at work lately, which has made it difficult for me to even take a break to eat lunch, let alone write an entry. This hasn't happened (at least to this extent) in a good long while and I appreciate it so much. I'd so much rather be busy and inspired and even overworked, if it means I have energy and I care about what I'm doing. At home, I've been too busy trying to frantically finish all my Christmas knitting.

So. In the small amount of time I am spending reading lately, I'm currently reading Fragile Things, a short story collection by Neil Gaimon. I've only just finished the first story, A Study in Emerald, but just that one story alone has reconvinced me that this man is a genius. An Arthur Conan Doyle-esque mystery set in an alternate version of Victorian England. Need I say more? I can't wait until after Christmas when I'll have time to read more again. My reading list is piling way up.

So, does anyone have any book recommendations for me to delve into after I've been freed from the knitting mania?
