    Last thing I read was A Perfect Spy, by John leCarre. I'm on an old book kick.

    Currently reading XPD by Len Deighton,
    Day of the Jackal by Frederick Forsyth,
    Deadpool, the marvel comic
    Litte Drummer Girl, again by leCarre.

    Last Good Book I read (capital letters deliberately included) was The God of Small Things, by Arundhati Roy.
    Before that it was Memoirs of a Geisha.

    Hey, there's a movie of that coming out. Who's excited?









    Nah, me neither.

    throwing me a lifeline,
    finds its way into my room,
    All I need is you.

    Loving the choir.

    Woah. Tennessee Williams overdose. How're you finding The Glass Menagerie? I liked it more than Streetcar, although I LOVED the stage direction in Streetcar. All that stuff about how the trumpets ought to sound made me laugh. For a notation, I thought Streetcar was really atmospheric.

    Saw the movie, the old black and white one, with Brando. It was okay. Not a big fan of Brando.

    I recognize the name Bill Bryson. What else has he done?

    Read:- I know you got soul by Jeremy Clarkson.

    Curently reading:

    Terry Pratchet: Going Postal
    The river cottage year book
    Akira - Katsuhiro Otomo Volume 1
    And some Azumaga spin off, but I do not know the name In English. (I can't read it really, I just like looking at the pictures.)
    Also some Japanese magazines. They read from right-to-left of course, not left-to-right like normal folk. Again, the pictures are the main atraction.

    I'm still looking for those Myst books that were mentioned by Ciel. I'm starting to doubt they were released in England.
    Raaagghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... hh..

    Just did a quick search. They seem to still be sold separately, but I just found a three-in-one book. And they even made French and German versions. I'm rather surprised, myself.

    I just read like...four Xanth novels. Read the Wiki on Piers Anthony afterwards, and now I'm not sure I'll ever look at the guy the same way again. Check out the controversy entry and you'll see what I mean. I never saw any of that in his books before, but I'll be damned if it's not become apparent since I read that.

    i've just finished "la asesina de lady di" (the assassin of lady di/lady di's assassin) (please, correct me, which one sounds better?)
    it's a novel written by an argentinian author, who is considered to be *the* author that reflects the actual argentinian pop culture.
    The story is about a teenager that does *many* �_� things in order to have a baby with ricky martin...
