Vows and Honor

I finished Vows and Honor by Mercedes Lackey a few days ago. I must say that I liked these two better than the trilogy centering on Talia which I read a while ago. Vows and Honor is about Tarma and Kethry, two characters first introduced in MZB‘s Sword and Sorceress series. I’ll have to see about getting some of those if the stories in them are anywhere near as good as Vows and Honor.

I want to start reading Lord of Light soon, but I’ve just downloaded The Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night (translated by Sir Richard Francis Burton) from Project Gutenberg. It’s too much to read at once (16 volumes, in fact), but I’d like to read some of it, anyway.

These things aside, I hope I can accomplish something useful today. I stayed up very late (or rather very early; it was nearly 7 AM) last night working on some things, but when I set my alarm I somehow managed not to turn it on (which is odd since it turns itself on automatically when set; but I digress) and as a result slept entirely through my classes. This is especially bad since some of the things I was staying up to finish were homework assignments that I meant to turn in, but I suppose it’s more important that I complete them and learn what they have to teach than that I turn them in. That’s how I’m rationalizing it, anyway.
