Spoilt for good reading

[petronia]

I'll, uh, comment and so forth later. Have spent most of the evening reading The King Must Die, which is - insert eloquent praise of choice, for I have none to hand, being too used to inarticulate fangirl ASCII hearts of late. But I always figure I'm the last person on the face of the earth to watch FMA read Mary Renault, so the fact that her books are good shouldn't come as news. ^^; I think this is the best one yet, though; a historical reconstruction and a myth at once, and comes off by that token as one of the best fantasy novels I've ever read, though I'd be surprised if it were intended to be any such.

After which I should have gone to bed, but am poking instead at some of sesame_seed's Chinese fic recs. XD I figure Chinese-fluent Prince of Tennis fans who read my lj but haven't seen her entry are thin on the ground, but one never knows: read this one first, and if you're not into TeniPuri do it for love of the meta. It's TezuFuji WAFF couched as a terrifyingly convincing fake gameblog/walkthrough of what one might expect, were the makers of S&T, Kiss of Prince etc. to cave entirely to the inevitable and produce a TeniPuri BL dating sim. XD XD XD Oh the glorious meta~~~

AHAHAHA SAIKOU *saves* XD

But I can't decide if I'm supposed to use it now, or if/when I actually do begin to watch it. XD Perhaps by then I will pass it on to the next person to be the last person on earth, which looks to be canis_m.
