Rereading It (third time)
Hi Georgie
Sloth Love Chunk
Reading Christine for the first time, just finished 1984.
I regret leaving my soul
I forgot I needed it, to feel
maybe when I die
I'll just grab it real quick
The Chase - Clive Cussler
All that's left of what we were is what we have become.
What if it's a Trick Question? by Peter Von Brown.
On a re-read of GRR Martins series "A Song of Ice and Fire".
Currently on Book 2 - 'A Clash of Kings'
Just finished the third/fourth book of the Tales of the Otori. It ended so satisfactorily that I really don't have too much desire to move on to the last one. But I will, in a day or two. I need a break from all the constant reading.
(I say third/fourth because it was the third part of a trilogy, then the author decided to write a prequel and a new last book, so it turned into a five-part thing.)
I'm reading Black House now. I'm only 3 chapters in and I actually really like how it is written. It is so creepy. Yuck. The descriptions are like a movie.
"The wise are not wise because they make no mistakes. They are wise because they correct their mistakes as soon as they recognize them."
-Orson Scott Card
I'm currently switching back and forth between Crime & Punishment and Blood Meridian
I switched from Christine to IT, having never read it before I figured it was time to give it a try.

rereading my Ayn Rand.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Marooned in Realtime, by Vernon Vinge. I just love Vinge.
"...neither the stupid jokes nor the easy surface emotions were the truth of Cuthbert Allgood."
I just finished the last couple Tales of the Otori. Now I'm reading Bury Me Standing, which is an ethnography of Gypsies in Albania in the early 90s. I don't know if anything's changed since then, but I definitely won't be going to Albania. Ever.
Just finished A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving and am starting a reread of The Giver by Lois Lowry.
"People, especially children, aren't measured by their IQ. What's important about them is whether they're good or bad, and these children are bad." ~ Alan Bernard
"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
Ah, a book about Albania! Must read it.
Since my mom has been living there for four years now, I've been to Albania. Definitely not for.. faint of heart. I myself refused to go out for a first couple o'days, and I thought I was a fearless traveler.
But hey, it's warm there. And very nice people. And gorgeous landscapes.
ETA: Oh yes, I'm reading this right now. Reynolds rocks, too.
"...neither the stupid jokes nor the easy surface emotions were the truth of Cuthbert Allgood."
Beautiful landscapes? Things must have changed, because the author talks about how barren it is there. She also keeps mentioning how things get stolen a lot. But yeah, it was 15 years ago, so I'm glad to hear things have improved.
johnny tremain, for like the billionth time in my life.
i finished all my ayn rand rereading, and althought I don't agree with all the tenets of objectivism, i agree with alot of what she says. I was very angry when the government went after Bill Gates back in the day, and now I remember why.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
I am currently reading The Neverending Story, it is really good.
I've been trying to read Jude the Obscure lately and I'm having a really hard time getting into it. So I've been supplementing with Harvard Lampoon's Bored of the Rings.
the stephen king illustrated companion.
isn't everyone?
. . . but i'm paralyzed with not caring very much.
