 Re: what are you reading?
[quote="discovolante"]Hey Jomie how was Woman in the Dunes? I still haven't read it.
In fact I'm reading fucking comics now. So far none of them have been very good. I'm beginning to realize how good Oldboy is when I compare it to the rest of the "mature" manga I've read.
And I'm not even counting hentai here.
BUT I will get to Woman in the Dunes soon, not to mention finishing 100 Years of Solitude.[/quote]
It's good I guess. Paints a pretty bleak picture of life, but ya know, that's not hard to do.

I read at least two of them I think... good stuff. Also made me realize even more how ridiculous Christopher Paolini's books are (as he borrowed some concepts from her, among others).

 Re: what are you reading?
I'm rereading the Michael Crichton collection. I just finished Sphere and am reading Jurassic Park.

Oh man Michael Crichton is like the biggest hack. My grandma made me try to read one of his books once. I think it was like "Global warming is a hoax!!!1!!!" and that was the whole plot.
Jurassic Park was pretty ok though.

 Re: what are you reading?
Just finished Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for one of my classes, almost done with Richard III (the shakespeare play) for another, and reading Killing Yourself to Live by Chuck Klostermann and Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. I've been doing a lot of reading recently.

 Re: what are you reading?
Henrik Ibsen- A Doll House.
It was pretty beast, but sexist as fuck in some sections.
