[inverarity]

Quests, flowers, rain, meals, Christ figures, sex and vampires, going south and going blind, it all means something.

sounds like Reminder of Why I Decided I Couldn't Standing Being an English Major...

Heh. Well, sometimes I wish I had been more of an artsy literary type, and then I remember that I like having a job.

funny, how useful those tend to be xD

This sounds interesting. I'm becoming more and more convinced that fiction is a better window into the human soul than anything else we've invented so far, so I'm starting to have an interest in literary criticism as well. Just, you know, not the kind they tend to do in English classes

I had to read this for one of my summer reading assignments this year ,so i think its really funny that you just so happen to be reviewing it. I chose not to read it because I thought it sounded ridiculous but you made me have second thoughts. Your book reviews are bettering me. yay
