I finished Gone with the Wind today. Read it every summer, along with Lonesome Dove (that was the week prior). Also recently consumed Fevre Dream by George R.R. Martin (not his best, but not too bad - if you want to see Anne Rice get a run for her money, where Antebellum vampires are concerned, it's worth checking out). Next week is Roadmarks by Roger Zelazney, which might finally fall apart like the other two did with this round of reading.

After watching Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, I think I'll dig up my complete series book and re-read it again.

Stardust. Just recently finished She's Come Undone. Both are/were enjoyable, though Stardust is definitely the easier read.

Reread Wee Free Men from Terry Pratchett recently. I've started the unabridged Les Mis, again, but I never seem to get more than a few chapters in. Considering I just bought Spook Country by William Gibson I probably won't get further than that this time either. My dad loaned me a WWII book titled The Day of the Battle that I might skim through but probably won't. I've gotten rather tired of WWII since all my life a bunch of vain, greedy, self centered old fucks have gone on and on about it as if the US hasn't been in a war before it or since. I'm not particularly interested in the life story of people egotistical enough to claim they're the 'greatest generation' while simultaneously shitting in their Depends. Besides, if I wanted to learn about worthless has been drains on society I'd look up what Absolute Destiny is up to now instead of WWII. My dad knows that, but he pushes WWII books on me anyway.


Speaking of books, this is something I read over a year ago but it still amuses me and I don't think I ever mentioned it on the org. One of the very rare times I grabbed (in this case checked out from the library) a book just because of the title:

Ha. Seeing the cover, I finally get the title.


I'm making my way through Gregory Maguire's books. Reading Mirror Mirror now, will start Lost once that's done.
