Very plot driven, perhaps somewhat easy to read (she's not overly verbose), but never insultingly simple like in Twilight/DaVinci
I've started on The Hunger Games, and so far it's pretty good, actually! I'd been kinda "meh" about reading it just 'cause it's got that same "young adult" label that Twilight has... that, and my mom told me it was good. Overall the story's been pretty solid, though.
I went to the library yesterday and asked for Aleister Crowley, the librian said that they had 8 books in the system, as in out of a web of 88 libraries there are 8 of his books.
Nothing To Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea and also The Velocipede, written in 1869 and full of highly entertaining made-up words. A female cyclist is a "velocipedestrienne".
When the rumor first came across the water, a few years ago, of that wonderful and fascinating little two-wheeled machine, upon which one could so gracefully annihilate time and space, the author of this little book was seized with his first attack of Velocipede Fever.

Norwegian wood...after years of avoiding it I've finally picked it up. I always get wary of literary works that are translated because the authors voice can be lost to that of the translator's. So far so good...
Larry Krauss' A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather Than Nothing Zero-point energy bitches! I want to hit Deepak Chopra with this book. Repeatedly.
Good deals done with all these guys Canada, we put the "u" in satire

I finished the last one a while back...starts strong but then The first two and most of the 3rd were great though, miles above that twilight nonsense.
I can't wait for the movie...Jennifer Lawrence is 21 so it's not creepy for being attracted to Katniss.

Good good. I just finished the first book today. I think I'm gonna read Syrup, then continue the series.
Having seen the trailer for the movie, is it bad that I kinda ignored the main premise of the book (their age) and allowed myself a boner at times?
About 350 pages into Game of Thrones right now. Goddamn is it a fucking good book. Jesus H Christ. I know it's blasphemy, but I might actually like this better than Tolkien.

Of your own choosing? Because that's almost as bad as Shakespeare.
