This may be too late now? But it sounds like you might like Ken McLeod, if you haven't read him yet: Scottish scifi with a intelligent political bent. To be honest the only thing I've read of his was 'Learning the World' - 'first contact' with interesting twists and smart (female!) characters - but I recommend it really highly, and I've heard good things about his other books.Nov 10, 2008 03:05 PM - in What goes with The Last King of Scotland?, stella says:
There are a couple gruesome scenes that are still stuck in my head (I saw it months ago) - but then again I don't see many gruesome films, so other people mightn't have that problem so much.
sheepofages, I still thought it was a valid point, the condemnation of whites going to Africa for (at least in his case) the wrong reasons. Then again I am very cynical about aid/development stuff, probably because I secretly want to run away to Uganda but can't.Nov 29, 2007 04:10 AM - in Shameless purloining from fiercenailbunny of shameless advertising of something *you* love,, stella says:
I love being awake at dawn (which doesn't happen that often, despite winter-time - huzzah for the student life) and seeing the cold and quiet world. Everything looks so vulnerable, so fragile and delicate.
Also lychees. And some people.Nov 29, 2007 03:41 AM - in Not mistress, stella says:
Isn't "lover" the classic term? And gender-neutral!
Actually I think people should use "lover" more for all kinds of relationships maybe-involving-sex-but-otherwise-hazily-defined and thus reclaim it from romance novels. Much nicer than 'fuck-buddy' or the like.Nov 08, 2007 09:36 AM - (show all)
I like flat whites, because/but I'm not quite sure what they are... A less milky latte? It also seems to depend on the barista.
