And by that I mean a novel, hopefully full of dragons, or spaceships, or something horribly escapist. I've been doing too much reading of informative things lately. I've had to be focused on where I was and what I was doing. I want a book that will take me ELSEWHERE for a while. What was that that Emily Dickensen wrote?

THERE is no frigate like a book	
  To take us lands away,	
Nor any coursers like a page	
  Of prancing poetry.	
  
This traverse may the poorest take
  Without oppress of toll;	
How frugal is the chariot	
  That bears a human soul!

*nods*.. well, try some good fiction.. although.. personally, it's getting rather tiring to read specfic and scifi because I see too many parallels to the real world, which worry me, so I'm kind of concentrating more on 'real-world' fiction, right now..
