That's why I'm also reading Ranma. Need something to laugh at after I lay in bed all night staring at the bleak, horrible future.

I read The Road last year. It was decent. My biggest complaint about the writing style was how McCarthy didn't use quotation marks when someone was speaking, so during long scenes of dialogue I'd forget who was saying what.

PS. Apparently, I can't quote someone who has a link in their post until I have 15 posts. So.

I am completely unmotivated to read Hunger Games.
I am somewhere in the middle of the 2nd book but I just cannot push myself to read sometimes, I'm not excited about it. What was everyone so excited about? Nothing has been going on for like 100 pages now.

Finished The Road just now. Thought it was quite good, though the writing style was a bit difficult to get into at first. No quotation marks, barely any punctuation, and some rather odd sentences. And his whole sentence structure is off kilter.

That said, I love anything that is post-apocalyptic, and thought that this vision of the future was wonderfully bleak. Good story and good characterization. On to my next book.

Just out of curiosity, what Shakespeare is being taught in school besides Romeo & Juliet?

I'm about halfway through, and I still can't put it down. Really interesting stuff. This should monopolize my reading for the next few weeks/months (gonna read all of the available books).

I came across it in a pile of books I've had for ages and realized I had never read it before. Instant favorite. Perfect for a hot day. There's a lot of research that was inspired by reading it, too. Now, if I can only get my hands on Through The Looking Glass...
