Any article I can find on Nazi Germany. My current google search terms are Nazi +: Sex, Sex Slave, Sadism, Masochism, Fashion, Fetishism, Blacks etc etc. It's all very fascinating. Disheartening, too...But that comes with the territory. I've been reading up on the comfort houses (brothels), homosexuality, and various other things. That's where the bottom most sig comes from.

Meth- you can perhaps give me pointers when it comes to essay time, so that I pick up key influences I may have missed?

I... distrust Wikipedia. Immensely. Thank you for the link, though, I shall explore it at greater length later.
Discussions with non-editable entities are generally more fruitful. I'm reading into the political ideals expressed in R.C. and the potential for it to be considered a hypothetical essay on The Enlightenment. |
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. Finally, after owning the book for years.

Sorry for that little essay, but felt it was a moment in time where I could mention it and see what people thought about it... :D |
Haha, I have no trouble with essays *that* little! It's the three thousand word bastards that I have to write that are giving me grief.
I have issues with dissecting fiction as part of study, because I feel it really takes away from the author's intent. No writer wants their work to become a soulless thing that endless students mindlessly quote and dissect. Same goes for poetry. Unless the author specifically states something was his/her intention, I think we should just enjoy the work and stop reading into depths that may not be there. |

Should I be pleased or worried that I share thought processes with someone whose name shortens easily to 'Meth'?

Haha, then complimented I shall feel. Unless, of course, this is a sign that your intelligence has been dragged down into the muck by speaking with individuals of such dubious character as myself.

Anyways, I'm reading the biography of Charles M. Schulz, the creator of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the gang. |
Peanuts!
I'm reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Raskolnikov is supposed to be attractive; go figure. I like it, though. Just finished reading The Stranger by Albert Camus, Matthew Ward's translation. I think Mersault could be considered "Gothic" if he lived during the right time period. |
I began to re-read Donna Tartt's The Secret History again, for about the tenth time. I really love that book...
|
I just finished the golden compass by philip pullman ans im starting the subtle knife
|
Re-re-reading Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's 'Good Omens'
*happy sigh* Now there was a writing match made in heaven... |
Currently reading S. Kenyons' Devil May Cry, and a bunch of junk from work.
|
Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book.
Now I know eight methods of getting free food and three for free transportation. |
"Chainfire" by Terry Goodkind.

Frankenstein? Goodness, yes. It was my key coursework text during my English Literature A-level, and has the benefit of being rather more readable than many of the other florid, overly weepy Gothic novels of the time.

well my current manga obsession is Deathnote
but aside from that I just finished reading Twilight_Stephanie Meyer And as of now Im reading_ Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz After that might curl up and read Dracula |
I've been on a Buffyverse diet for a long time, so i've been reading all of the graphic novels for season 8. I can't remember the name of the artist. But this dude or gal is so much better than the earlier artist. The earlier work made the cast look like a bunch of cartoon characters.
My current obession is also women in ancient Rome and Greece and Roman medicine (especially Brain Surgery). Evidently they were very good at medicine and their work was highly effective. But...Let's just say that if I had a headache back then, i'd find the muscle mass to suffer through it, rather than get a doctor. Yeesh. |
