What Are You Reading? lickity split

Orwell's 1984.

So you know how I said I was kind of liking The House on Mango Street? That was before I got to the chapter about the clowns. You can forget I even made my previous post.

Brave New World by Huxley.

[Regan]

The Trojan War by Barry Strauss

[Xerophyte]

I'm currently re-reading Yukio Mishima's "Confessions of a Mask", along with a few of his other works.

[Asthaloth]

Isaac Asimov: Robot Dreams.


'And AC said "Let there be light!"
And there was light'

As a person with faith and a deep fear of Entropy.
The Last Question crushed me.

Lots of books. I read what ever book I think is nice, and I never read Little Women so my first is Little women.

The other book are :

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

Northern Lights (Golden Compass) – His Dark Materials.

Robinson Crusoe (for the million time).

Aventura (It's not a book it's more a Japanese Comic MANGA).

Cat's Cradle

I intend on reading Prince Caspian soon so I can be all read up for the movie!

Still reading Native Son and Catch-22 for English and still hating both of them (well, for Native Son it's more a total indifference, but still), but I got Watchmen and another book that I don't want to mention because it is WAY TOO GEEKY (okay. Lost Mind Games. A book really written for pretty much only the truly obsessive hardcore fans, and only available through directly buying it from the author on Amazon. But I refuse to be ashamed!) in the mail from Amazon this week, so as soon as I am caught up on homework... GEEK-OUT TIME.

The rest of my order from Amazon was all three seasons of Lost soundtracks (I got the first two, preordered the third), Bad Twin, World War Z, and, not really geeky but still very much apocalypticish, How I Live Now, because I have no idea how I don't already own it, as it's one of my favorite books evar.

So yeah. My previous obsession with Lost has kind of gone overboard. I blame the second half of season 3, season 4, the mobisodes, my new (two months old?) subscription to the official podcast, the discovery of Lostpedia and 4815162342.com... And the end of my previous hardcore-to-the-point-of-it-being-scary-to-other-humans obsession, Harry Potter. Clearly, RIP to that but ONWARDS. Keep calm and carry on to your next destination in the South Pacific.

And this really evolved beyond a simple 'What are you reading' post. Hmm.

I just read twilight and new moon. I need to read eclipse and host.

I just love these books so far. Edward

Well, and Jacob doesn't sound bad either.

Oh and there will be a movie version of Twilight this December. I hope the movie is ever bit as dark as the book, and not too kid friendly, actually, so they don't have to leave out parts.

The same guy who played Cedric Diggory is going to be Edward, so it can't be too bad! I probably jumped on the bandwagon a little late. I mean, I just heard of the series so I can't say I was a fan from way back. But at least I am on the wagon now.

Seneca's Octavia, Trojan Woman, Oedipus, etc.

[Byakuya San]

...Oedipus...

What he said.

[Pudding]

Grimm's Fairy Tales, which are less gruesome than expected. I'm also in the middle of Much Obliged, Jeeves, which I shockingly hadn't realized existed until last weekend.

[Skynetmain]

Shakugan no Shana light novel and QED

Both are awesome
