i finished the Preacher graphic novel series about a week ago, and i highly reccomend it to anyone who doesn't take religion seriously. its a fantastic analysis on not only catholicism, but the american dream itself. if you enjoyed dogma, you'd definitely enjoy this. its basically about an alcoholic preacher who becomes sick with god, gets these ( Read more... )

harry potter :( but after i read the HBP, it will be naked lunch.

i'm either reading "franny and zoey" or "fahrenheit 451" for english.

fahrenheit 451s a good and easy read, although i've always thought of it as being a second-rate version of 1984.

as for naked lunch, i've been wanting to read it for a really long time now, but i still haven't gotten to it.

naked lunch is so sexual and so weird.

burroughs was a pretty weird guy.
i read my education: a book of dreams, and it was incredibly strange, i couldn't even get through it.

ha, you're probably reading hardcore advanced philosiphical/metaphysical bullshit that would give me a headache.

just finished As I lay Dying. . . on to either Les Miserable, Steppenwolf, any of the books stacked on top of my bookshelf, or those upon my sisters. Oi! choices choices. . . Ill have to get back to you

cryptichearts April 30 2006, 23:33:52 UTC

I'm tempted to pick up As I Lay Dying.
seriously though, you should lay off the hardcore stuff like Les Miserables and pick up some easier reading, like anything by Palahniuk.

meh. . . twas alright. Its bearable. . .like Clockwork Orange, you have to get used to the speech pattern. The plots less interesting though. Im reading Les Mis due to the temptations set forth by watching the movie in French class. Plus it was an impulse buy at the used book store. Hehe. . . Ill make my way there eventually. He's on my sis's bookshelf.

i thought clockwork orange had fantastic use of speech pattern, with that whole slavic/english mixed slang.
