Musings on Lymond

Yeah, I am reading Game of Kings in an insane, obsessive fashion.

But this is only loosely connected to GoK, though it is Lymond-centric. In looking back, I realize that this was the first time I read a set of novels where the protagonist was bisexual (I have no idea if he was bi by inclination as the only person he loves during the course of the books is Philippa and she is a woman, but he is certainly bi by conduct, voluntary and involuntary, and doesn’t find the concept insupportable).

And that led me to think of Lymond’s sexual issues because he has So. Many.

More Lymond...

Yeah, still reading Game of Kings. I remember when I first read it, I actually liked Richard at the start the best of anybody. Now, while I get where he is coming from, I am impatient with him. I think I never recovered from the scene in the glen in GoK where Richard’s goal is to literally break Lymond down so much that he is going to beg to be killed.

Return of the Condor Heroes: still obsessed

Yes, I am still obsessing over Return of the Condor Heroes. I put aside Sweet 18, however cute it is, because I need my Angsty Hotties with Swords.

Quote of the Day (courtesy of meganbmoore (on ROCH):

TPTB...your lead actress looks like a porcelain goddess-pale skin, long, jet black hair, perfect, delicate features-and your male lead looks like a Chinese Adonis-all golds and browns and 100% masculine-we KNOW why they're practicing their kungfu naked in the flowers in slowmo with her chest carefully fuzzed out, the kungfu equivalent of technobabble REALLY isn't necessary...just keep the no-no bits fuzzed out and do your thing, it's ok.
