Given that I am likely to finish Gents of the Road tonight, what should I start next:
Finishing Paradise Lost
The Decameron
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Frankenstein
Something else (preferably something else already on my bookshelf and it is creepy if you know everything there but whatever if you've got a good suggestion)
Finished up Gentlemen of the Road last night, and that was a really decent book. A good adventure story. The writing style lost me from time to time, but overall I enjoyed it.

You guys talking about That Is All reminded me that I want to read it, so I went upstairs to get it, and it's shelved in New Non-Fiction. I can't tell you guys how happy that makes me.
I've read the first 4 Dexter books except for the 3rd which I was told to avoid like the plague but I still need to read the 5th one which involved cannibals or something.
I finished the other two books in the Leviathan trilogy and they were all pretty good. I didn't realize they would be so short though, I started and finished the last two in a day each. Less than a day, really, I started reading when I got to work and I was finished well before it was time to go home.

A bunch of friends wanted to go see The Hunger Games movie tonight, so I figured I'd read through the entire book today. Decent but...
The gifts from the sponsors sometimes felt like a bit of a cop-out, and the wolf-things being the other contestants felt really out of place. There are so many things that don't make sense, or just aren't used to contribute to the story as well as they could have be. What do sponsors actually get out of a contestant winning? If the world has been through an environmental distaster, why is everything so pristine, and how can they control the weather?
I'm really tempted to try rewriting the book myself just to fix the things that are really bugging me, and publish it online.
Also I gather it's not worth reading the other two?

me too
i still need the second fake trivia book
i saw him on craig ferguson's show the other night, and i hardly recognized him. he looks really different with longer hair and a mustache
Man, I... I own the first one but it got put in storage in Chicago when I moved here.

i haven't read much of it but i've enjoyed what i've read
maybe it's just the translation i've got but it can be pretty hard to remember it's seven hundred years old
i can't stand Bradbury though so I am biased

That Regency romance you've got hidden behind your classics shelf

Like, Fear Street
If only I could get a printed copy
that is
that is certainly a thing i bought
It is fucking magical
in Melbourne there is a new independent bookstore that I found
three things about it make me feel like it may be my new favourite place
1. in their centre display they had Kate Beaton's book right in the middle
2. they had a Jonathan Lethem book in a country where I have never seen any Lethem in stores
3.
...
they are called Embiggen Books
it is a place of magic and wonder
literally exactly what I said to the guy who rung up my book
he nodded sagely
wish I could visit Oz sometime
i still haven't made it through Dexter By Design
i still like the first two
and the second's implication that doakes is just like dexter
just has a better handle on it
Holy shit I am laughing my ass off at The Areas of My Expertise on audiobook. The section about writing is so far my favourite.

the areas of my expertise did this for me
it was the chapter entitled, "700 Hobo Names"
Honey Bunches of Donald still makes me chuckle every time
