What are you reading?

Just finished The Sadian Woman by Angela Carter. Absolutely fascinating to read a book on De Sade by a feminist and rather than it be full of vitriol and bile, she actually comes down on The Marquis' side and say his books are of high moral value. It's totally shaken my view of "the world out there" or at least, part of it.

Can't wait to read some of her fiction. In the meantime is probably back to Anton LaVey for some re-reading. Or perhaps I'll keep it light for the weekend and get my Lenore collection out again.

This book piqued my interest. I'm glad I'm not alone on these thoughts and feelings.
Why We Hate Us

The description of removing the epidermis is quite horrific

Things Fall Apart by Some-Indian-Guy-Whose-Name-I-Can't-Spell

What an awful book.

I'm reading a book I have to review.

Things fall Apart was written by a Nigerian, hun. His name was Chinua Achebe.

It's actually one of my favorite books ever.

The Birthday Present Barbera Vine

1984 heart-felt double-plus good young-age. heart-felt double-plus good A Brave New World, also

Yep.. I was just too lazy to type it out. I'm only about 1/4th through it, so maybe it will grow on me.

^^Are you reading it for school? I never liked any of the books I read in school.

^Yep... it was assigned reading for this summer (I blew it off until last minute because it is a shorter book than my others -- I can read it in a few hours).

Heh, I had to read that book as well for my senior year.

^Oh good! You can give me a synopsis and I won't have to read it... then I can move on to more fun things, like Blood Canticle... I've been trying to read that for FOREVER!

Haha, I used cliffnotes. It was too boring for me. All I remember is something dealing with yams.

^Yep.. that's about as far as I am now...

"He has more wives...more yams... bigger hut... Blah blah *I fall asleep*"

Haha, it is rather boring. I was glad to get rid of it.

Yeah, when school sends you a novel is just... awful...

The worst one for me was a sci-fi Magic Realism New Age metaphysical Soap Opera called La Ley Del Amor

Fahrenheit 451

My history textbook

^Fun, fun, fun in a bun...no doubt!

Yeah right. Sad thing is that there's 2 of them.

I have so many books on my shelf I have to read.

It's actually nice waking up earlier than I usually did for work (I have to wake up my brother)
Because I now have time to read a few pages of my book each morning.
