And while I'm not really against reading something that's on the depressing side, I still need plot movement. Bodily Harm probably has some at some point, but I didn't get there. Chris, I started Ender in Exile last night. Do you read his stuff? Jess, you’re probably right.

It's great writing, but most of it is a bit depressing. I was dark and tragic and filled with angst at the time, so it suited me. But I haven't reread anything of hers since (although I have many many books and have frequently thought of rereading them.) So that might explain why you're not getting into them. There's definitely a mood required. Not depression, but at least a willingness to look at the dark side of humans. It seems the older I get, the less willing I am to look.
