Finished "During the Rains". It was entertaining, and nostalgic, as all his work is from what i understand, but once again, hes too overly non-chalant with these female characters picking up, being whores, and liking it.
Saramago, Jose - "The Tale of the Unknown Island" = Typical example of what i like about Saramago. Timeless, romantic, open and honest, and challenging in the sense that he challenges the lens that I use. Nice short story. I wish he had more short stories, at least more translated into english.
Sinclair, Upton - "Oil!" (Begun) = the book that "there will be blood" was, apparently, loosely based on. So far, interesting, though not as initially engaging as "the Jungle" was for me
