I've read that! I've also read Evasion and Off The Map, both of which are awesome (and more uplifting than DOWNOL).

A book detailing various examples of Conceptual Art.

I need to get back into some fiction.

Impressive, even the right amount of question marks and exclamation points.

The Red and the Black by Stendhal


I'm nearly finished, and I'm still not convinced that this book has a plot.  Which isn't to say it's bad.  It's actually really, really good.  The main character, Julien Sorel, is complex and interesting.  Multi-faceted.  But I feel like I'm reading a biography, rather than a story.  Oh well, I still like it.  Haha.

Ironypills - Yay! I'm coming!
Cyanide - I did NOT just have that orgasm!

I feel like I haven't been living my life.

See, I saw a new post in this thread in my list-of-new-posts RSS feed, and then looked up the thread and saw many responses that I did not notice earlier, despite having gone through the list.

Then I realised what the title was, and that I usually completely ignore the What are you listening to RIGHT NOW????!!! thread, so... yeah... unfortunate.

Wuthering Heights

dunno why.

One of my absolute favorite books EVER.



They're making a movie of it...with Johnny Depp as Heathcliff and Angelina Jolie as Cathy.  Okay, I think Johnny Depp can pull off Heathcliff.  He's a little old, but he's also very pretty so we'll forgive him.  Haha.  But Angelina Jolie as Cathy?  Awful!  Terrible!  Yuckkk.  I like Angelina Jolie, for the most part.  She's done some bad work and some good work, like most people.  But I honestly believe that she'll be a horrible Cathy.  She just doesn't...fit.  Guh.  I can't explain why, she just doesn't suit that role at alllllll.

I'm not a big fan of the 1939 version with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon, either.  Deviates too much from the book.  I'm a big book purist when it comes to movie adaptions.
