The book I am reading:
Academically: The Sunflower by Simon Wiesenthal, approx. one million journal articles on international criminal law, democratic theory, feminist philosophy, etc.
Recreationally: when I am post this particular deadline, Un Lun Dun by China Miéville is sitting on my bedside table.
The book I am writing:
Ahahaha. Yeah, ask me again when I graduate?
The book I love most:
The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. After all this time, it's still got a hold on me in ways few other books quite manage.
The last book I received as a gift:
Avatar: the Last Airbender: The Art of the Animated Series by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, from my dad at Christmas. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL OMG. *_*
The last book I gave as a gift:
Funny you should mention that! I am giving away a whole bunch of books RIGHT NOW, details just below.
The nearest book on my desk:
International Law, edited by Malcolm D. Evans.

So yes, book giveaway! In the UK they're launching World Book Night this year, and have had a million special editions of 25 different books printed to ship out to volunteers to give away. How could I resist?
To that end, I have 48 copies of David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas that are looking for good homes! I am very happy to send them anywhere, but please note that I can't pay for posting & packaging, so this is possibly not particularly cost-effective if you're overseas. (The Royal Mail Price Finder can help you out if you want to know how much it would cost - the book weighs about 300 grams.)
I am also happy to save a copy for you if I will be seeing you in person over the next few months at Vidukon, Diacon or other fannish events.
They're nice editions, and also have a slip in the back where I'll be putting in information for BookCrossing, which is cool. It's a great book - not without flaws, but what is, and it's got many elements in it that will appeal to fannish sensibilities, I think. It certainly continues to appeal to mine, and I've read it many times now.
If you'd like one, just leave a comment saying so, or email me at such.heights at gmail. They are taking over my kitchen omg, send help!
