Any reason why French particularly? I couldn't stand it at school, I preferred German
Yeah, it's kind off a career move. The company I'm hoping to start working for this year requires good english skills and as an additional asset one of the following: German, French or Russian. Russian is fairly easy but just not for me and German never really sounded nice to my ears. That leaves us with French which I by the way, just like you, hated at school but now I adore my French lessons : ) I blame my teacher's for that : P
Well you've got a point there, don't get me wrong I really like King's novels but usually the endings are a huge dissapointment. For example his latest "Under the dome" great book just the ending didn't seem right, kinda didn't fit with to the rest of the story.
The series is awesome ! The book's cover the same stories ? Or is it something utterly different ?
I saw a book today at Borders I wanted to get, called "The Sociopath Next Door". I didn't have the money to buy it so I'll either read it online or see if the library has a copy. It's basically a book on the psychology of sociopaths. It was something like 1 out of 4 people you know is a sociopath. Nuts, huh?
only me, hey wait a minute:jk
Hahaha! Nice one
I know quite a bit of people. But I only know 3 sociopaths. And they're all women, go figure lol.
that Ellison dude is sick - that story was soo dark and just reeked of pain and depression, it was hard to read, very powerful though. The Ligotti one was too gothic for my taste but well written nevertheless
Next Up
The Wars - Timothy Findley
What's the plot?
Can't read one book at a time, currently reading:
W, or the Memory of Childhood - Georges Perec
Le plaisir du texte - Roland Barthes
The taming of the shrew - Shakespeare
And the book that my nickname mentions which is currently my bible.

I'm down to just one, my nightstand got too cluttered
It's called The Fiend in Human. I've owned it for years and never been able to get through it, but last night, it started to sink in, and now I'm excited about it!

it's not a novel, it's a book about our consumption model, and suggestions on how it could be changed: rather than making and recycling, designing and building items with future uses in mind, with sustainable materials. Really quite fascinating.
I'm also reading:
I just started reading The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis. I love the Chronicles of Narnia.

Want some aggro? - Mickey Smith and Cass Pennant.
The true story of West Ham's original hooligans in the late 60s and 70s before the I.C.F. took over. It was mainly lots of smaller mobs including the Mile End Mafia back then. A good and interesting read.
