Summer Reading

Posted: 9/9/05 at 4:06pm

Finished Under the Banner of Heaven, which was very informative by the way, if anyone's looking to learn about violence and the history of Mormonism.

I'm now moving on to Fluke or, I Know Why the Winged Whale Sings by Christopher Moore. Now that school's started again it's time for some lighter reading.

Summer Reading

I FINALLY finished The Amber Spyglass last night! I was in tears for the last bit, too. It was such a wonderful trilogy (His Dark Materials, by Philip Pullman).

Today I started Angels in America, but it'll probably take me awhile to get through, since I'll have readings to do for school, too. But it's wonderful so far!

To Kill a Mockingbird will always be on of my favorite novels ever written, not to metion one of the best ever written.

Has anyone here (besides bwaysinger) read House Of Leaves? I am reading it right now and it is freaking me the f**k out.

Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

I recently finished Michelangelo Signorile's HITTING HARD, which is a collection of his writings in various publications covering events dealing directly and indirectly with gay issues from 1996 to the present. Very informative and shows you how life has and hasn't changed in nearly 10 years.

OH! That one's GOOD! I read it last year, or maybe at the beginning of this one.

I remember when I bought it, the girl at the front desk gave me a really weird look, then asked me if I was buying it for my girlfriend.

I just kinda laughed.

I can't wait to read more of Karen's stuff.

David Copperfield is terrific! My favorite Dickens novel.

(I know you said you were reading Great Expectations but they're both Dickens.

I'e always wondered what the outcome would be if Dickens and Austen got together to write a novel. Just think of the possibilities!)

Koren Zailckas (author of Smashed) went to Syracuse too and her book is now required reading in many freshman year writing classes. I'm only 1/5 of the way through it and I really like it. More people need to write books like this and make movies like Thirteen, because too many parents are in denial thinking this kind of stuff would never happen to their kid, but I witness it every weekend.

Sorry for the soapbox moment

Calvin, I started HOUSE OF LEAVES when it first came out, and didn't get very far. There was some good creepy stuff, but it just started to feel very bogus: like it was working way too hard to be cool and cutting edge.

The last book I read was CATCH-22, which seems to have also been read by the management of the last company I worked for. Unfortunately, they didn't realize the book is a satire.

I'm currently reading THE MARCH, a new novel by E.L. Doctorow, and am enjoying it very much.
