(no subject)
So instead of buying new books all the time, I should read the ones I already have (and this sounds eerily like my problem with PC- and video games, I know, shut up)
I started off the project by going through my bookshelves to just collect the unread ones. Easy, since I'm already marked them by putting them upside down. Thought then that I'd put them elsewhere and have them collected.
...gave up after ~25 books. Okay. Okay. And all of them are interesting too. I've got my work cut out for me.
Currently reading Real World (Natsuo Kirino), which was in the latest batch. (Well, next to latest; the last one with 4 more books still awaits me at what serves as a post office and I guess I'll pick them up tomorrow)
Here we meet four teenage girls, and one boy who is on the run after having just murdered his mother. Each chapter is written in the POV of one of the characters (and yes, I know what I said about switching POVs like this. If you do it the right way - which this author does - it is definitely not a problem.) and all of them have their own stories to tell.
I've read one other book by its author, Out - and I think I've mentioned it before. It's a crime novel about four women, one of which who kills her husband out of desperation, and the others eventually ends up helping her dispose of the dismembered body. And then they start blackmailing each other.
(When I say "crime novel" I think about pudgy police men trying to solve mysterious cases, but that's not really what this book is about. )
Well. Gotta eat something, and continue reading instead of just talking about reading.
This afternoon I'll continue playing Resident Evil 5 with
missne. It's a horrible, horrible game, and we constantly keep telling each other that no, we don't want to go there, we don't want to see the cutscenes, and damn it no, we don't want to fight those bosses either.
(...and at the end of the day, we aren't as goddamn awful at it as we think we are XD)
Oh. Speaking of games; 14 years after everybody else did it I finally played to one of the endings in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Go me! Now I just have to play through the reversed castle and beat the shit out of ol' daddy too.
