I just finished that H.P. Lovecraft collection, and am about to start the Clive Barker collection.

Just finished a book called "The Latter day cipher".
It was interesting, and a pretty cool story. But it didn't really end. If the author writes a sequel, cool. But otherwise...I would give it a C
I also don't recommend Arctic read it. XD

Started on Beowulf.

Dude. Me, too.Orodrist wrote:Started on Beowulf.
Reading it for my English class. It's actually really good stuff. I'm surprised.
And. On the lighter side, I'm about halfway through Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. So. Good. Not drawing me quite as much as Sorcerer's Stone, but...still. Love this.

I read some of Beowulf for English Lit. Although... I think I read much more of it considering I'm only in the "introduction to english literature part."
Yeah... tranzillations FTW

Well, yesterday and today I blazed through Letters From A Nut and Even More Letters From A Nut by Ted L. Nancy. Amusing stuff.
I'm also reading How We Are Hungry, a short story collection by David Eggers and Gathering Blue by Lois Lowry.

I finished Beowulf and am not sure what to think. I mean...there's so much social and religious commentary to be made on it, which makes it so awesome. But the actual story?

THERE'S A SHEMONSTER, BEOWULF! KILL IT!
THERE'S A FRIGGIN DRAGON LOLWAT WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?, BEOWULF! KILL IT!
OOPS. YOU OKAY BEOWULF?
THE END.

I just read some of the Books of Blood.
In this case, "The Midnight Meat Train"
That was disturbingly awesome, and yet not that far out compared to some horror stuff. (Looks pointedly at Warhammer 40k fiction)
