Friedrich Duerrenmatt - A dangerous Game (die Panne)
I was really impressed. Now, seriously, Duerrenmatt is an interesting author...black humor, somewhat kafkaesk, but still original with a fresh style-I can only suggest reading his stuff. just in case: http://www.litencyc.com/php/speople....e&UID=1114 |
Eva Luna - Isabel Allende (damn good)
Nike, baby: just IN case. |
I generally read two books at a time. I keep one by the bed so I can read while going to sleep and one on the coffee table for when my bf wants to zone off into the tv. I'm reading VC Andrews "Ruby" as a bed time story and collection of HP Lovecraft for the waking hours.

I finally got around to reading "The Hitchhicker's Guide To The Galaxy". There's this crazy hippy that rides his bike around campus here, and if there were such a thing as "the Hitchhikers Guide..." It would say NOT TO TALK TO HIM! Every time you talk to him, it will turn into an hour long conversation about how you should "Totally check out my website, Hitchhicker's guide to the Galaxy... I totally designed it and stuff... Hitchhicker's guide..." I've never actually vivisted it 0.o He even calls himself "Time Lloyd" or something. Anyway, hilarious book. I drew a picture of my version of Ford Prefect. He looks pretty shadey in a happy kind of way ^.^ Ford is my favorite character.

I am currently reading a novel by a Greek author, M. Karagatsis. It's called Leitourgia se La yfesis, in English Mass in La minore, originally published in 1943.
Karagatsis' use of the Greek language is amazing, he uses many metaphors and he develops his characters in depth. I don't know if any of his books are translated, my guess is yes. |
Claw of the Conciliator by Gene Wolf

Just finished Huckleberry Finn for the third time in 14 years. Not so goth, but in fear of calling out for people to just be whatever you want them to be... I was taught in college that this rather than Tom Sawyer was Mark Twain's classic. It's great. Huck helps Jim, a runwaway slave, get away while spending the entire book thinking he's awful while really he's a brave kid. I found it worth my time to read again.
|
Dingus Kahn.. I'm glad you like it, Wolfmoon ^.^ As for Samuel Clemens, I've always liked "The Prince and The Pauper".
|
Samuel Clemens?
Who? j/k :lol: |
Therese Raquin (anybody who knows how do to accents... you're smarter than I am) by Zola. I *loooooove* it. It's a nice substitute for Dostoyevsky, since all of the books of him (that I have within reach of my bed), I've already finished.
*edit* I forgot! I have a really pretty quote from the book. Is that allowed? I hope that's allowed. It's allowed. It's really pretty, and it's about ****, pretty much: "Then with a violent movement Laurent stooped, took the young woman, and held her against his breast. He pushed her head back, crushing her lips beneath his own. She made one wild instinctive effort to resist and then yielded, slipping down onto the floor. Not a single word was exchanged. The act was silent and brutal." I love it. |
That's scarry, Tea. 0.o

That wasn't directed to Tea, that's the book I'm reading right now. Seriously. |
Thats funny because not too long ago I read a book called SLUT by Leora Tanenbaum. It was about women who grew up with a reputation and how it affected them.
|
Just started Orlando by Virginia Woolf. Books that deal with subjects like gender ambiguity/androgyny are always interesting to me, so I just had to pick this one up. I'm still on the introduction, which is mainly about Virginia, her writing, circle of friends and such. Pretty interesting stuff.

Went to the local Book Dispensary and got a bunch of horror novels. Edward Lee, Laymon, Ketchum, Clegg, Little, Levin, Straub, and some anthologies. A few hundred dollars worth for a little over $15. Gotta love the used paperback store (they look new too!). Currently Im reading through the Laymon i got, and im in the middle of The Traveling Vampire Show. Love it. No Sanctuary is next.
