Memoirs of a geisha.

currently "The gods themselves" - Isaac Asimov
next either "Faust" - Goethe or, "Slaughterhouse 5" - Kurt Vonnegut. |
The Secret History, by Donna Tartt. It's compulsive as fuck, even though the climax came on the first page.
|
Twilight. My art teacher strongly requested that I read it because her daughter bought the thing and she wanted it to be used for more than 3 days. It is a 1st draft account of a 15-year-old's vampire fantasy. That's what it's about, that's how it's written, that's how it reads. It's bloody fucking frustrating to read and has only served to deepen my mistrust of vampire novels >.< At least it's quick... kind of like being shot in the foot.
|
If my Art teacher strongly requested I read Twilight I would quit.
|
If my art teacher suggested that I read Twilight I would strongly suggest that she should aquire a better taste in literature.
|
I would just start turning in pieces of art with no effort put into them, based on the book.
|
HAHAHA. She hasn't read it, I don't think, and wanted the book to be used more than once.
However I can't say I wasn't warned because I did read that thread about it, though like anything that screams "THIS IS SO [bad/disturbing/shitty/fucking irritating], it made me want to see how bad it was >.< And all your keystrokes, for all their vitriol, have not done it justice. Oh well. My fault. Maybe I'll forget about it sometime. *goes back and reads thread* She's 34? |
I used to like Twilight until I realized how bad the vocabulary and imagery was. I also noticed how easy it must have been to write because it's in first person. I only read it the first time because I heard from a friend that it was a good teen vampire romance. Now I see it as a half-assed attempt to write a good book.
|
I prefer stories written in first person, it helps you empathise with the character. As for Twilight, it reminds me of those "choose your vampire romance" things, only longer.
Anyway, back to the original question, I'm reading Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. |
Twilight... just... words fail to describe.
Anyway, I'm reading A Russian Beauty and Other Stories by Vladimir Nabokov. |

Perdido Street Station.

Oh, it is so relieving to see people on a goth forum dislike Twilight.
Anyway, I just finished The Riven Kingdom by Karen Miller. So far, she's had entertaining work. |
