Dude. The last time I read those books was when I was ten. I was crazy. Every week when a new episode came out, I printed out the screencaps on the website. I seriously had a crush on Christopher Ralph (Tobias). I even got the official actor biography book (with pictures)!!!!

Well, in general, I had a crush on Tobias all around. It's cool to be a bird.

OH MY GOD ME TOO. I hated the show for how much it mauled the books, but I was so happy Christopher Ralph was Tobias. He was so, so, so yummy. AND LIKE ALMOST THIRTY, WTF?

That was crazy, but who cares? I'd still invite him to Yasha's naked house party.


I'm so excited! My best friend just loaned me Fragile Things. I was too tired and drunk to start it last night, tho, so I'll probably start it sometime tonight.

thirty?????

Seraphita is actually pretty interesting. If I weren't completely indifferent towards religion, I would probably love it. I still find it kind of unrealistic that one person can talk non-stop for 26 pages. It was pretty irrelevant, too. I want to try to read that out loud to see how far I get.

I'm also rereading a book called White Fang at the moment. It's about wolves.

I remember a movie about it.

I just finished Peter Pan!!!

Just finished off The Epic Of Gilgamesh. Not exactly a book, but it something I was currently reading.

I want to read Five Rings.

Oh, come on! Saionji probably has a good copy of it! It's widely regarded as THE book on Kendo, written by none other than Miyamoto Musashi, the legendary samurai. It deals with the five rings of the elements and how they fit into the grand scheme of things. I would love to read my mother's copy. The trick is to find a copy that the translator hasn't pissed all over with his or her own commentary.

Kind of like finding a decent dub of Sailor Moon. Or a person who can do Akio well enough in English.

OMG if I got a chance I would fuck Jeremy Irons' brains out.


For some reason whenever I watch him act he makes me sad. WHY IS THAT?



Currently reading Only Revolutions by Mark Z Danielewski. It's CAH-RAZY. Gonna start American Gods by Neil Gaiman next.

...Obviously, you've given this some thought.

I the Zombie Coffee Girls story in Fragile Things. I love Neil, but anthologies drive me nuts -I'm really not fond of short stories. But so far, this one has been perfect. Everything has felt so...right.

I loved that book so much. I really enjoyed the short story about Sherlock Holmes.

I've been saying that since I was eight years old.

Damn I need to get my paws on that, already.

For me, I've been reading The City of Falling Angels, by John Berendt. This is the author that wrote the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which was a ridiculously good movie. I had intended to read that, but then I found his other book was on Venice and I was like BITCH GIMMIE. What he does is nonfiction that feels a bit like fiction; he tells the stories of the people he meets. The names aren't even changed. The drag queen from Midnight was so popular in the book that she wrote her own book. But he meets such strange characters you almost can't believe they're real, and in their individual stories, he's managing to capture the living spirit of the city they come from. In this book, his being in Venice falls in line with the fire at The Fenice* opera house. For some people he talks about this is a major theme, in other stories, it's more of a backdrop. Either way I'm really enjoying it, it has the same appeal as good historical fiction in that it gives you an impression of a culture, and at the same time, it's a series of character studies. All in all, fun stuff.

*Which means phoenix. Also it has burned and been rebuilt rather a few times.

Dr. Adder by K.W. Jeter.

Some really twisted crap right thar.

Oh, that's a fantastic book!!! Not only a story about wolves, but about men! (For what I remember, it shares little with the movie). I remember it as my favourite book about five years ago or so.

Love, love, love it. Mesopothamic / sumerian literature, about... two thousand years bC? (lol, nobody will believe I'm actually taking Ancient History, I don't remember something I was taught six months ago! ). The very first Carpe diem, that's for sure...


I lately read L'aventure ambigüe, by Cheik Amidou Kane. I don't know if there is any translation in English (probably yes, but I haven't found it on the Internet), but for anyone who understands French or Spanish, is quite a enjoyable reading.

American Gods is definitely YAY. I need to re-read it sometime, and Good Omens. Haven't had any time for pleasure reading recently, since I'm in the process of completing final papers/exams. As soon as that's over, I think I'll get back to reading The Teahouse Fire by Ellis Avery and random bits of Angela Carter.

I recently finished "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman and I nearly had an orgasm. Go. Read it now.
