Finished reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom. It was short and neat. Funny thing, for me, was that this was about what happens after death. I had the same idea about 3-4 years ago when I was building and writing weekly drafts for my short story, but this book focused more on typical examples for its themes, among other writing techniques. I can learn a thing or two from this if I ever pick up writing that story again.

Started and Finished American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Was interesting, but Shadow's real name doesn't have any significance right?

He's Baldur. I don't remember if that was part of the name.

Finished The China Study last week and Catcher in the Rye this morning. The former was awesome, a boring read typical of scientific literature, but interesting in its implications and propositions. The latter sucked greasy donkey testicles. Catcher was about as dull as if I had taken a blade and continuously hacked at my bones, and then stabbed the blade against a rock for several hours, and then brought this whole simile back to explain that I'd rather have done that than read this book. Definitely nobody more advanced than an age eight reading level should bother with it, unless you're motivated to understand when different sources reference it (GitS, for example). It didn't make me want to kill Reagan or Lennon, except maybe out of boredom.
Starting in on Murakami's Kafka on the Shore today! I was going to start Ulysses, but apparently I got rid of that book. I will have to download it.

About 200 pages into it: it's fucking insane, and really good.

Three rousing rahs, a few huzzahs, and a hip hip hurray. What's good for General Bullmoose is good for the U.S.A.

Reading Ico: Castle in the Mist

It's been a while since I've actually read a book for fun, it's really good so far. Though I haven't played the game yet myself.

Bismarck: Ein psychologischer Versuch von Emil Ludwig (“Bismarck: A psychological attempt by Emil Ludwig”)

A short biography/psychological analysis of HSH Otto von Bismarck from 1911; it's one of the many old books from my late grandmother's house, and rather interesting.

Finished Kafka a while ago, really enjoyed it. Took a short break, but read a little bit of Gödel, Escher, Bach in the meantime. Starting Naked Economics today. Been reading a lot of short stories as part of my creative writing class.

I started reading A Game of Thrones today. Pretty cool so far. I intend to finish it within three weeks.

Read Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, reread Good Omens, and would like to read American Gods next. I also have a copy of The Confederacy of Dunces handy and someone recommended The Lies of Locke Lamora to me a few weeks ago.

I liked Neverwhere, and Good Omens continues to be my favorite book.

Finished Zinn's A People's History of the United States. Twas quite awesome, and has definitely reshaped me to a significant degree, though I recognize the grain of salt with which it must be taken.
Started Homer's Iliad, Lynd & Grubacic's Wobblies & Zapatistas, and I'm still slowly working on GEB, Plato's complete works and the Bhagavad Gita.
I wanted to start Marx's Capital, but the library refuses to let anyone check it out. <_<
