[livejournal.com profile] morganlf, I'm looking your way...

Where do I start reading the works of Octavia Butler? Anybody? You don't have to be [livejournal.com profile] morganlf to answer.

Okay, well I liked Parable of the Sower. I mean, I didn't like it, exactly, because a lot of it is nastily intense, but I admired and respected it and read it all straight through in one sitting at the Westfield Library when I was supposed to be shelving some books.

Man, that job was the absolute best.

I liked Kindred too, but I think it's easier to reduce to talking points. Parable of the Sower has stuck in my gut for years now.

Mrs. Forstner will bounty-hunt you to the ends of the earth to get back those name plates, dude.

But it was a sweet job.

At first glance: "Parable of the Sower has made me suck in my gut for years now."
