I'd never read him before.

Started this today after class

Read Black swan green by David Mitchell. Twas merely ok, but rather underwhelming when you look at his other work. Twas to be expected I guess, considering it's told in the first person from the viewpoint of a 13 year old. Kids just aren't that interesting. The best bits are when adults get involved, especially that bit about the nutcase Belgian granny, closest it got to being profound. Still, an easy enough read and not exactly boring, but not really worth your time either.

Now onto Fevre dream by G.R.R. Martin. Pretty good for a vampire novel. Great atmosphere. Ain't no better setting for vampires than the swampy, sticky American south. Reeks of the devil....(:

Found out today that Chuck Klosterman is coming to campus, so I'm going to try reading this:

I'm so partial to his essays that I hadn't given it a chance, if any of you have, I'd love to know your thoughts. There's a lot of other reading I should be doing, and if this is a bust I'd rather not waste the time.

Why? Just, why?

I've recently finished 'Kaas' by Willem Elsschot and it was a really good read. I'm now starting with Hemingway's 'Green Hills of Africa'.

I'm curious to see what he has to say.

Plus I'm a fan and all that jazz.

So much negativity thrown at a group that is all about positivity.

I am completely and utterly in love with Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series. Each book is more exciting than the last! Right now I'm on book five, The Wolves of Calla".

Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss. It just came out today, and Sunday I'm going to be at his book signing. Woot!

The first book in the series (and incidentally, the authors first published novel, period) called The Name of the Wind was freakin' awesome. If any of y'all like fantasy, you MUST check this guy out.

Wind Up Bird Chronicle was just ****ing amazing.

I'm not sure what to read next, I think I may download the ebook of Kafka on the Shore.

Fear and loathing in las vegas - Hunter S. Thompson. Incredible.
