I've read two books today, Griffin & Sabine: An Extraordinary Correspondence and Sabine's Notebook: In Which The Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin & Sabine Continues. I told myself I'd only read one a day, but...gah, that cliffhanger! And the cliffhanger at the end of Sabine's Notebook! I have enough homework to do after dinner to make it almost easy to put off The Golden Mean: In Which The Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin & Sabine Concludes (but apparently not really because there's a second trilogy ^_^) until tomorrow.

I'm annoyed that the library here doesn't have the first book of the second trilogy, but a few others do so I'm going to put in an ILL request tomorrow. Because, oh my god. I don't know if it's just that I'm a geek for mixed media things like this, or the whole LDR aspect of the story, but...god, so neat. And I'm avoiding spoilers, so no one say anything if you've read the other four books, please ^_^ But if you haven't pick up Griffin & Sabine...and make sure you have the rest of the books on hand if you do. Because, even with them at hand, you may end up twitching for the next one like me. I cannot imagine having to wait, when they were originally released, a year between books.

EDIT: Homework, outside of the 40 pages I have to read of Jane Eyre before Tuesday, is done. I intend to get some writing done, but after that there is nothing to keep me from The Golden Mean. Ack!

I've written almost three thousand words in the past day and a half. Go me!

Having now read the entire first trilogy (naughty me)...I am pondering how the Griffin and Sabine books would work as audiobooks. At least one of them has been made into an audiobook, according to the library catalog...and I just don't see that working at all. I really don't care for audiobooks of typical books, but how do you make something so very visual into only audio? I suppose it would work if you had two narrators, one reading Sabine's letters and one Griffin's, but...even though I didn't pour over the artwork (going to have another go-round and will do so while I wait to get my hands on Gryphon), I did see how it was a key element to the story. And I really enjoyed opening up the little envelopes (sooo glad no asswipes had taken any of the letters, which would have been so easy to do). So...yeah. That, and they are such quick reads, I don't see how audiobooks would make it any easier on the brain.
