17. Nightwings by Robert Silverberg

A book compiled from three short stories. The first part I enjoyed very much. The second was fascinating. The third felt long, but I was curious how will it end.

It is definitely a change in my reading habits, as I tend to meander into the epic realm most of the time - I can't help it, it's addictive. But a book like that makes you think carefully about what you're reading.

18. Manson, Cynthia DeMarcus. The Fairy-Tale Literature of Dickens, Christina Rossetti, and George Macdonald: Antidotes to the Victorian Spiritual Crisis. Lesiston, Queenston, Lampeter: The Edwin Mellen Press, 2008.

I've read it a month ago or so, but as usual, didn't put it here.

This book is a partial answer to my inner question about the popularity of fantasy literature, it's been nagging me since I've started Uni, and it's probably one of the reasons why I'm writing PhD.

A very interesting book - food for thought.
