:O GODDAMN YOU FOR LIKING HOMESTUCK, TOO.

Also, I'm reading Tropic of Capricorn and Ulysses. Because I needed more reasons to be misanthropic, apparently.

That reminds me of the Red Dwarf (novel) scene where the world, sorry, a world, is going in reverse. This probably came first.

In Odd We Trust, a manga-style comic written by Dean Koontz. This may surprise you but it's not very good.

As supplementary reading I've got The 900 Days: The Siege of Leningrad.

I'm getting into Stephen King again. I just finished Hearts in Atlantis, which I really enjoyed. I started the first Dark Tower book, the Gunslinger, and got bored after a few pages and gave up for the day. But I'll try again when I'm more in the mood. I never did finish the Stand, but it was starting to get stupid anyway.

I'm about 3/4 way thought it. But I've been reading that and War and Peace for the past few years. Russian authors always interest me and drag me in, then take too long to get to the end, and my patience wanes.

One of my favourite fiction authors is Iain M Banks, but I have never gotten around to reading his most famous novel, The Wasp factory. UNTIL NOW THAT IS.

It's really gripping and I'm only a few chapters in.

I just read the four released books in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, and just finished "1984" today. Nooooow I'm going to read "Fahrenheit 451." I'm pretty much catching up on stuff that I've missed out on.

The third was by far my favorite. It's where shit really reaches the boiling point. It's a lot better than the first two, and then the fourth is kinda meh, but the fifth one looks pretty good, based on the sample chapters that I've read.

GIANTS RIDING MAMMOTHS. That's my spoiler for the third book.

If you were an American child you could've gotten it over with much quicker.

I don't get why they'd assign stuff like that for American children. Seems like it'd just fly over a lot of heads and put them off of reading. I had to read a bunch of other staples in high school, but those ones weren't there, for whatever reason. The stuff I had to read in university varied wildly from class to class, but there was a lot of Canadian stuff. Margaret Atwood can lick my taint.

True, I hated Faranheit when I first read it. Now Bradbury is one of my favorite authors.

When I went to school the only Bradbury I was required to read was The Illustrated Man and instead of 1984 we read Animal Farm

We read 'Royal Hunt for the Sun', 'Remembering Babylon' and 'The Giver'. I think I enjoyed them all.

I think Fahrenheit 451 would be easier to grasp than 1984. There are some kinda fucked up concepts in there that I just can't see a typical high school student being able to fully grasp. The bare outline of "the MAN" seems to be what most take away from it.

The best book I "had" to read in school was the Chrysalids. Still a favorite.

Animal Farm is the only book besides Shakespeare I remember being assigned to read. We read that instead of 1984, probably because 1984 is so fucked up and hopeless.

I remember finding Brave New World profoundly more disturbing than 1984. (Prolly for these reasons, even as a kid.) I was required to read both Animal Farm and 1984, though. No room for Huxley, I suppose. Too much sex, maybe.

That and the Red Badge of Courage. I never read what was required of me after that and bullshitted through everything else, especially Beowulf.
