Hey y'all- can't believe the semester's over already! I just wanted to ask everybody, what's your favorite thing that we read this semester? For me it's hard to pick, but I really enjoyed all of the Ted Chiang.
Good luck on finals, and have a great break!
Ted Chiang is definitely way up on my list. I particularly enjoyed all the short stories we read in class. I enjoy not being told everything in a story, and having to fill in gaps myself.
ReplyDeleteThat's really tough. I would have to say that I enjoyed the short stories probably the best out of all of the works we read this year and I probably liked the anthology the best as I think it had a bit more diversity.
ReplyDeleteI know most people in the class did not like The Windup Girl, but I would have to say it is one of my favorite books now. The Ted Chiang stories were also great.
ReplyDeleteI think my picks would either be the anthology or Cherie Priest's Clockwork Century series, Boneshaker in particular. The anthology had so many stories, two of which I liked were The Corpse Painter's Masterpiece and White Lines on a Green Field. The stories from the last third of the book were all pretty awesome, in my opinion.
