To everyone who never told me of the existence of Pamela Dean's Tam Lin:

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? Why did nobody sit me down and say, here is a book, it is perfect for you, read it now? It is:

a) extremely American in a way that's making me half bemused and half wistful, and

b) making me feel drastically under-read! and under-educated! I am not used to these feelings!

Anyway, flist, let's talk books! What are you reading? What have you enjoyed recently? WHAT ELSE HAVE YOU AMERICANS BEEN HIDING FROM ME?

So far (I'm only about a third of the way in) it has the slightest hint of fae to it but it's mostly about BOOKS and PLAYS and CHOOSING YOUR MAJOR and trying to study and have a boyfriend at the same time, and the main character is so extremely likeable that I am having trouble putting it down because I miss her and her wacky friends too much.
