Just finished Crichton's The Lost World... it was a dollar at goodwill figured I'd give it a shot. This is one of those stories that is completely driven by stupid decisions. Just no excuse for anything that happens in this book at all. Still a fun read though I guess

I finished Asimov's "The Complete Robot" a week ago or so.
Recently I've read Blacksad, (Previously I've read most of the stories in Norwegian, as they were featured in a Norwegian comic book) but that one didn't include the newest story "A Silent Hell", so I'll have to buy that as well.

Other than that, I keep on reading H.P. Lovecraft's novels when I'm on the loo or tram/bus on my mobile.
I kinda regret I lent my H.P. Lovecraft "Tome" away to a friend before finishing it, but then again, when I had it, I hardly read it due to reading Asimov.

I should really procure the Foundation Series as well. That will probably be my next buy, after I buy a few records I've been wanting for some time.

Take a good look at the cover of this book. Now, if anyone tells you to read this book because it is "deep", punch them in the face immediately.

Every time I try to explain to someone that this book is not complicated or "deep", they say "you just didn't understand it".

F?&$%?%$ YOU!

The author pounds the message into your head every freaking paragraph! He is relentlessly annoying the shit out of you on each page with the "deep meaning", as if you didn't understand it the first 500 times. The book is also filled with God this and God that, so that's just extra piss me off points.

Reading another book called Ishmael now and it is good so far.

Just started reading the original Jurassic Park... sooooo much better

I miss reading for fun.

I'm trying to start reading Cloud Atlas, but I will admit I am struggling a bit although I am interested.

Anyone know if there are cliff notes for this thing?


I know I know I'm hipstering on this one.

Unfortunately, a trustworthy friend recommended it. To be fair, they warned me that they had read it a long time ago.

I should have known better when I read that Oprah and a bunch of stupid Hollywood celebrities love the book. I actually burned the freaking book, no joke. I hate it.

I started reading A Conversation With God, but shelved it because I couldn't take the rambling writing style that it uses.

Going to start reading this instead.
