I did the little hundred movies and hundred books game that has been going around various social medias! I tried to make my lists with just the things I could think of not looking at any of my actual reading lists or bookshelves and as a result I am now sitting here thinking of all the things I love and/or have shaped me in some way that I didn't happen to think of while making the specific list and taking -5 HP each time. So it goes. I can't believe I forgot Between Silk and Cyanide. Anyway, if you're not bored with clicking little boxes yet, please do go forth and click mine and let me know how it went!

Books: 74 of 100, would have been a round 75% if you had not left off Leo Marks. Did we ever talk about Tanya Huff's Fifth Quarter?

Movies: 73 out of 100, I rejoice in the inclusion of Pimpernel Smith. I suspect I wiped out on most pop culture after the turn of the millennium.

I don't think we HAVE ever talked about Fifth Quarter! But I think about it all the time. Absolute benchmark of delightfully balls-to-the-wall plotting. I could not have imagined a bisexual love quintangle that simultaneously includes reincarnation, incest, selfcest, body-stealing, and a centuries-old zombie master, but that's because I'm not as huge brained as Tanya Huff.

Did I tell you that our old apartment-mate has a Pimpernel Smith speech prepped as his audition number?

AN ASSASSIN HAS NO FAMILY BUT THE ARMY.

(I was on a panel with Tanya Huff at Arisia once. She told the story about how deciding to take up the bagpipes led to her taking up running in self-defense of her lungs.)

I read all three of the extant Quarters books in mid-high school and Fifth Quarter was the one that cracktastically hot-wired itself into my id because what else was it going to do. I still don't own copies with the Jody Lee art and want to start looking out for them in used book stores again.

You did! It makes me very happy! And I hope it has gotten him many roles!
