Just finished The Nightcrawler by Thomas Tessier. Probably one of the most fucked up books I've read. Extremely graphic.

I'm protesting reading, and concluding on my study that not reading anything extra-cirrucular than the ordinary really does slow down your intelligence and dumbs you down to the point where you seem like you are uncomprehensive.

Finished reading The Man in the High Castle by Phillip K. Dick. I was rather disappointed by the ending, and the rest of the plot for that matter. The setting was fantastic, though.

Haha.

What does it all mean? by Thomas Nagel. I hardly find any time to read books these days, which is a nuisance.

I have been really interested in Chinese culture for the past few months and have read two books that have been pretty popular there. The first is called Rainbow, by Mao Dun and the other is called Chronicle of a Blood Merchant, by Yu Hua. Both show Chinese culture during the Revolution of 1911 and the Cultural Revolution that China went through when Mao was Chairman. The reading level is not that high up because of translation issues, but still very decent books.

One of my favorite non-fictions.

Gay. So gay. God dammit, so fucking gay.

I hate Dan Brown, and that book in particular can suck my testicle juices through a straw.

I haven't read much of anything lately. The last bunch of stuff I read was a Lovecraft collection, Cell by Stephen King and a second reading of A Scanner Darkly.
