Reading some existenntialism stuff in World Lit for classes, and I'm liking it so far. We just finished War Poetry, and I could have seriously passed on those. We also read some very interesting Japanese Literature (Aguri by Junichiro), which I did get into.

Personally, I'm still neck deep in MElody Carlson novels, although I've finished half of my collection.

I'm next going to re-read the Twilight series, in anticipation for the upcoming movie. :O

Ah existentialism very interesting

What specifically have you been reading if you dont mind me asking. I am reading some absurdism, specifically The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus, very interesting and thought provoking stuff.

I just read the first three chapters of the Higurashi manga with Oto on aim...

... it was kind of entertaining, in a "omg must stay alert because I JUST KNOW the manga is trying to lull me into a false sense of security" kind of way.

Sometimes, it succeeds. T__T

How does it compare to the anime?

Donno, never seen the anime myself.

No idea, I haven't seen it (nor, afaik, has Jasper).

It is, however, good so far. I don't like some things in it, but it does do the lulling-into-security part well. Just that I hope it doesn't abuse some of the devices that it keeps repeating (like the whole - "this shit is bad" - "oh phew, that wasn't so bad after all" - CREEPY STARE - "OHFUCK" cycle).

Even if they do keep abusing that cycle, simply tacking on "GAH MAKE IT STOP" - "okay, it's back to being tame now" - "NO WAIT IT'S NOT ASDF" to the end will probably still get me every time.

If it's like the anime the ending is anything but 'it's back to being tame' although each story arc starts off as tame and builds up to just plain fucked up.
