Book-a-nook

Book rec time! I haven't had much time for fun reading lately (though over break I did read Octavia Butler's Kindred and reread her Wild Seed, both of which are totally awesome and which everyone should read), but the other day I found a book that looked interesting in the library and checked it out. It's called The English American, by Alison Larkin. It's semiautobiographical in that it's about a young adopted British woman who, at 28, meets her Southern American birth parents (like Larkin herself), though it is a novel and certainly I imagine a lot of the things that happen in it are whole cloth.

Anyway, it's worth reading!

Also this Twilight video from braaaiiins is awesome:
