Quiet, but restless inside

[pegkerr]

I'm in that fretful stage where I don't know what I want to read next, and I don't really have anything to write, whether in fiction or my paper journal or here. The fiction drying up I've had several months to get used to, but when my inner commentator falls silent, too, that is new, and extremely unfamiliar and rather unpleasant. I look out upon the world with tired eyes and have little to say.

The house is cleaner, which makes me feel a whole lot better at least.

I just finished Elizabeth Moon's "The Speed of Dark" and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a tastily thought-provoking book dealing with autism (Ms. Moon's teenage son is autistic) on the face of it, with deeper themes of identity, friendship, and how perception and reality really aren't as identical as we like to think they are.

I lent that to a non-sf reader and she was just blown away. Loves it. Wants to read Flowers for Algernon now.
