I’m rereading Lolita and One Hundred Years of Solitude.

I’m going to start The Kite Runner soon.

Has anyone heard of Tim Burton’s “The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories”, and should I have posted that with my Emo alt?

Also, go read The House of Leaves. I don’t know how to explain it other than the format of the book changes to reflect the narrative. As the three story lines play out, the layout of the book is used in the same way as a film score.

I’m currently reading The Seven Daughters of Eve by Bryan Sykes. It’s about genetics and evolution, pretty much using ancient DNA to track down common ancestors. The seven “daughters” represent the earliest being with one of the mitochondrial haplogroups of Europe, descended from the “Mitochondrial Eve” (the world’s most recent common ancestor)

I’ve found it interesting so far, but that’s probably because I’m a bit of a geek and genetics interest me. :/

After that, it’s The Ancestors Tale by Richard Dawkins.

In honour of his pbuming in April, I have just re-read every pre-Timequake Kurt Vonnegut novel except Slaughterhouse 5 which I must have lent to somebody. I think Cat’s Cradle holds up the best but they are all worth reading.

Oh whoops, I meant aHkH ThhbBt re re ca’Nt reeed.

Books?

I am somewhat currently reading:

Frank Herbert – God Emperor of Dune

Aldous Huxley – Brave New World

Agatha Christie – Murder on the Orient Express

Lionel Shriver – We Need to Talk About Kevin

Antonio Lobo Antunes – Knowledge of Hell

J.G. Ballard – Crash

I have no memory of Knowledge of Hell, didn’t care for We Need to Talk about Kevin or Brave New World, loved Murder on the Orient Express,and thought Crash was okay.
