I just purchased and am munching steadily through
'The Necronomicon' commemorative edition of the works of HP Lovecraft
'The Gormenghast trilogy' by Melvyn Peake

and I'm just finishing The Hogfather again

SO MANY WORDS
*drownzed*

a friend of mine got that version of the necronomicon.... he liked to read it to me as a bed time story D:

I's reading Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (second time) and Objectivism: the Philosophy of Ayn Rand by Leonard Peikoff. also, a book on the egyptian book of the dead, and numerous art magazines.

recently read:

pride and prejudice and zombies (for real the time)

i really liked it, actually.  it was funny and silly but mostly...pride and prejudice-y.  i kept getting really into it because p&p is such a damn good book!


middlesex by jeffrey eugenides

not sure how i felt about the ending, but i really liked the book overall.



and re-read:

harry potter and the half-blood prince

...so...excited...for...movie.  my nerdiness knows no bounds.


the princess bride by william goldman

best.  book.  ever.

uhm. HBP, midnight on IMAX, you're jealous and it's okay ;)

and I'm reading Conqueror's Moon by Julian May who is apparently some sort of famous because on the cover the author's name is bigger than the title...

:P

I'm reading Warbreaker now. Kinda all I do during the summer is read... I'm really glad this one came out irl because it was mostly published online on Sanderson's blog which I don't really partake in, though perhaps I should. I don't really like reading long books on the computer, though I do on occasiona (Little Brother, I'm looking at you).

count of monte cristo = infinite times better than anything dan brown shits out and convinces a publisher that it's actually a manuscript.

started reading battle royale today.  i've never been so sickened or fascinated by a book.  some of it turns my stomach, but i can't. put. it. down.

i'm also kinda creeped out, and i'm fairly sure it will give me nightmares.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein.

For all that this book is like 45 years old, I'm impressed at its .... well, timelessness. It has aged well.

I just finished Bukowski's last novel, Pulp. Did it in less than 48 hours. Can't remember the last book I went through that fast. It was just so delicious.

I mean:

"Mister, you got a bug up  your ass or what?"
"It's most probably 'what.'"
"MARY LOU!" I heard this loud voice, "THAT ASSHOLE GIVING YOU TROUBLE?"
It was the bartender, a little guy with beetle brows.
"Don't worry, Andy, I'll handle this asshole."
"Yeah, Mary Lou," I said, "you've probably handled a lot of assholes."

BAM. Oh Charles, you were the shit.

he still is.

the shit, that is.

uhm.

you know what I mean.


finished The Snow Queen by... uhm. Jean Vinge I think?

am currently reading John Stienbeck's East of Eden. Not sure where it's going yet but I think Steinbeck is more of a horror writer than people think! D:
