/lit/ - Literature

Blackwells is superior.

i've had the on my shelf for two years and I haven't even touched it. And it'll most likely stay there.

Just passed Navidson's first venture into the hallway. That was weirdly disturbing in an awesome way, though I heard there is a slight case of Minotaur rape in the book? Can anyone confirm?

I can skip Johnny's story right? He just isn't interesting as Navidson. Also, a question on the timeline when exactly do the events in the book take place? I think they're like this:

Zampano>>>Johnny>>>Navidson. I could be wrong.

Last read-
Crime and Punishment

Current:
House Of Leaves

Next-
Either the complete franz kafka short stories or Notes from underground.

I enjoy Random House too. Vintage editions are excellent!

2,4,6 and 7 were my favourites.

Hated 5 due to HORMONES EVERYWHERE!!!!!

It's not a bad young adult series. Just wish everyone would stop praising it so highly, it's not on the same levels as say His Dark Materials or LOTR + The Hobbit IMHO.

So, what do you think will happen?

I think Danny will side with the Greyjoys(and marry Victarion). She will use his ships as a way to transport her army from across the sea to Westeros once she learns how to rule properly.

Quentyn will fuck up his mission and die in the process(killed by Ser Jorah who returns to try and redeem himself).

Arya's first target will likely be someone very close to her or an acquaintance of someone close to her. Most probably her target will either be Jon or Stannis.

Theon will do something important(it's probably related to the fact he knows Bran and Rickon are still alive).

The wall will come down at the end of Dance.

Davos will die(it's a certain it will happen, it'd be redundant if he pulled another Bran and Rickon with Davos).

I don't even use the bloody thing anymore.

Whenever I have browsed people's facebook accounts I look in movies and constantly see Adam Sandler mentioned but in their books they either don't have any listed or "LOL, can't read". Why? WHY does humanity favour the stupid and look down on intelligence?

And all nooks, kindles and other handhells are rendered useless. How will you laugh? I plan to either laugh immoderately, an evil cackle or just smugly glare at the fools who bought an e-reader to begin with and laugh on the inside.

i'm curious about starting to read Physcology. Just don't know where to begin, considering going with "Civilization and its Discontent".

Also interested in reading.

Suppose i'll do it anyway just to get it out of the way.

The scary stuff hasn't happened yet, only up to chapter 2 and Navidson is setting up cameras in his house. Will comment later.

So, it's kinda like that episode of Doctor Who "The Lodger" but on a very bad acid trip?

Dance-Excellent, paired with Storm as best in the series.

Winds-More or less on the same quality as feast, if not a little better.

Spring-Will have a love & hate ending.

Currently reading House Of Leaves. And for some reason I picutre Edward Norton as Johnny Truant.

Dostoyevsky.

The Hobbit is excellent, almost bought The Similarion the other day but got Notes from Underground instead. I HOPE they cast Clancy Brown as Smaug that would be brilliant.

i'll probably save the Kafka book for my 10 hour plane journey next month. i'll most likely finish those within the space of a week.

i'll try and pick up a Vonnegut book or two at the airport. Considering going with either Sirens Of Titans and Cat's Cradle. Already read Slaughterhouse 5. I have been meaning to read Orwell's non-fiction stuff since he seems like an interesting bloke.

My latest purchases:
The Brothers Karamazov
House Of Leaves
Notes from Underground
The Complete franz kafka short stories

Started this book today, not bad. But is it wrong that I picture Hugh Laurie as The Underground Man?

What are some interesting essays on Cell Biology or cells in general?
