Crime and Punishment. Its okay. It has its points of excitement, and its points of not-so-much excitement.

The Lathe of Heaven - Ursula K. LeGuin.
kind of a break-your-brain thing, and there've been a few parts I skimmed over (mostly cause I was reading at 1 in the morning) but I like it rather a lot.

I think you'll find that quite a lot of people read several books at once.

I never have, actually. People just think I'm weird for it.
Which is ridiculous, really. There are tons of way better reasons to think I'm weird.

Paul Neilan's Apathy and Other Small Victories . I found it at the bookstore yesterday, and so far it's amazing.

Heart of Darkness, King Lear, and The Great Gatsby.
Heart of Darkness has no story. It just keeps going. And you get to the end. And you're like, "so wait, was there a point?"
Gone, forever.

So I'm
not the only one that does it!
Although I still believe those of us who read several books at one time are in a minority.
I used to think everyone read that way until I learned differently in sixth grade...Such was my stupidity.

I wish he wouldn't agonise so much. That book could've been hella shorter.
