what in the who now?

+ In department of 'omg this had better be a totally unfounded rumour': Fox to commission a RTD-penned US remake of Torchwood? WHAT. And I am just not thinking about how I would feel if it did turn out that RTD did indeed blow up his old show then go and make a brand new shiny one. May this never come to pass!

+ In happier news, [livejournal.com profile] queerlit50 is starting up, similar to [livejournal.com profile] 50books_poc. Read some queer authors! Tell me about them! :D My reading list for the next few weeks includes Sarah Waters' Fingersmith, Mary Renault's The Persian Boy, and Ellen Kushner's Swordspoint, so I will probably chat about those over there.

+ Also, [personal profile] oxoniensis's ninth porn battle is taking prompts.

+ eta: Also! The [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti auction closes in just over 24 hours. There's a lot of things still available over there very reasonably, and everything's all listed and indexed so it's easy to find something you might like.

Sarah Waters' Fingersmith, Mary Renault's The Persian Boy - i've read both of those, very good! i also enjoyed The Night Watch by Sarah Waters and Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy

am currently rereading A Strong and Sudden Thaw by R.W. Day (it's good, though it could be better, but i can't help rereading it every once in a while, usually when it's freezing out!)

re: torchwood... i'm so not thinking about that anymore
