Books, CAN YOU READ?! Options

[Raijinili]

Went and reread After Dark by Haruki Murakami again. :/ I picked it up at a Barnes and Noble on a whim and I thought it was pretty good the first few times.

I recently purchased "Kafka on the Shore" but haven't got around to starting it yet.

CURRENTLY WORKING ON "You Shall Know Our Velocity!" AND "Only Revolutions"
RECENTLY FINISHED THE FAIRLY FUCKING AMAZING "House of Leaves" AND FELT SLAPPED IN THE FACE BY THE ENDING BUT LOVED IT OVERALL

I read that book. It's pretty strange, with fish falling from the sky and stuff.

All I read this summer were young adult pulpy stuffs.
I can't find anything good to read.

Oh, well I'm reading the Silmarillion since I didn't understand it the first time I read it.

Dracula by Bram Stoker - from what I've read so far, it really sounds to me like Stoker was gay for Dracula, but that's ok. It's not a bad book.
Alice in Wonderland + Through the Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll. There's a trippy book if ever I read one. I like trippy books, but seriously. What. Whatwhat.
Don Quixote - Miguel de Ihavenoclue. Working through my book that has both Spanish and English. Not getting very far at all.

Just finished "You Shall Know Our Velocity!"
One of the funniest books I've ever read, though the ending is something that just kind of, wow. It's so happy and then the last line... wtf
I like how it never outright states why they're giving away the $38000, it tells you, but in a roundabout way, they kind of dance around it without specifically stating it. I don't know why but I really liked that.
Still working on "Only Revolutions", but I might take up another book, as this is the first time in a while I haven't had at least two books going. Probably "Lolita" or "Kafka on the Shore".

Reading The Watchman.



It's pretty good, despite Alan Moore being a fucking elitist.

And a pervert who puts old people (sometimes with young people) having sex in his books.

[Raijinili]

That too.


What will they think of next? :O

[Raijinili]

Reading V for Vendetta

[Raijinili]

I opted for "Lolita". And holy fuck.

[Raijinili]

See what they're talking about now?


Do you see?

[Raijinili]

I don't know. Who is "they"?

[Raijinili]

And what are "they" saying?

Anything short of "this book is incredible in every way, from being gorgeously written to downright depressing and introspective" is a lie.
