Still truckin' through the "In Death" series by J D Robb.
On "Holiday in death" right now.

good series for anyone that likes mysteries, also has a bit of sci fi in (it's set in 2058) and a touch of sexy romance.

I just finished Farewell Waltz, which was unexpectedly darker and less philosophy-based than some of Kundera's other novels. Still really good, though:

Quote :

"The only thing," he added, "that puzzles me a bit about procreation is how senselessly parents choose each other. It's incredible what hideous-looking individuals decide to procreate. They probably imagine that the burden of ugliness will be lighter if they share it with their descendants."

gg, Kundera

I'll probably go back to Against the Day for now.

I'm kind of enjoying White Noise; although, I feel like I'm reading updated dialogue from The Picture of Dorian Gray at times.

I just got an entire box of Nora Roberts books from one of Josh's customers. I haven't read any of her stuff since she became so popular, but I guess I'm going to be reading her now. Nothing like free books.

Jose Saramago's Seeing. The one before it Blindness is an absolute must read.

8/9/2007 1:18:29 AM

^ Let me know how you're liking Seeing. I dug Blindness, but I didn't know if I'd like the sequel as much.

Also, I'm adding Cosmicomics (Calvino) to my list of favorite books of all time. It's that awesome. <3

Reading "The Road" it's kind of depressing but very interesting to think about what would happen to the world if shit really hit the fan.

Someone should throw a brick through Orson Scott Card's living room window telling him to stop. All his later books suck.

Xenocide - Orson Scott Card

8/21/2007 11:35:20 PM

"Meanwhile, Thomas Pynchon is up to his usual business. Characters stop what they're doing to sing what are for the most part stupid songs. Strange and weird sexual practices take place. Obscure languages are spoken, not always idiomatically. Contrary-to-the-fact occurrences occur. Maybe it's not the world, but with a minor adjustment or two it's what the world might be."

still working my way through Against the Day

8/22/2007 1:06:51 PM

I think I had multiple aneurysms reading Pynchon once.

8/22/2007 1:12:17 PM

I keep a running list of words I need to look up, and that helps a little. "Mephitically" was the best one I found while reading last night.
