So I'm going to be out of town for two weeks starting this Friday. I need recs! Music recs and book recs.

As far as music goes, in general I go for pop & rock. But I've found songs I like in all genres.

As far as books go- plot, please? I like scifi, fantasy, mystery... anything that's not just romance. Unless it's a gay romance! /biased like woah

Rec, pleease!

And does anyone happen to know about how many characters/words will fit into an entry? Cowboys fic goes up tommorow, omg!! It is at the moment ~28,000 words, so yeah. :D I'm so excited!!

Book recs, huh? Well, have you ever read Asimov's 'The Gods Themselves'? It is good, solid old-school sci-fi, and it has a gay romance :D Well, not exactly gay, because aliens in question have three genders, but they are referred to as male, so... I was totally shocked when I read it for the first time - zomg, male aliens doing it O__O I was only 15 at the time, so yeah :DDD But there is an awesome female character too (well, as much as it can be called female, anyway).

Music recs:

I'm currently loving the Swedish band Kent which sounds like this and this

Or if you are more into easy listening sort of music, there is the Korean Clazziquai Project that sounds like this and this

Have a great time on your trip! :)

Dude, that is awesome. I am going to totally check that out. I've read some of the Foundations series and didn't like it, so I haven't read any of Asimov's other stuff. Sweeeet.

Thanks for the music recs too! :D

Foundations were pretty boring, I didn't like any of those books, either. But his short stories are amazing, and 'The Gods Themselves' is great, too (if a little bit of science doesn't turn you off reading, but it is sci-fi, after all).

You're welcome :)
