"High Windows" Philip Larkin.

Not a novel, but the question asked what book I am reading.

The poem I am on right now, Sad Steps:

Groping back to bed after a piss
I part the thick curtains, and am startled by
The rapid clouds, the moon's cleanliness.

Four o'clock: wedge-shaped gardens lie
Under a cavernous, a wind-pierced sky.
There's something laughable about this,

The way the moon dashes through the clouds that blow
Loosely as cannon-smoke to stand apart
(Stone-coloured light sharpening the roofs below)

High and preposterous and separate--
Lozenge of love! Medallion of art!
O wolves of memory! Immensements! No,

One shivers slightly, looking up there.
The hardness and the brightness and the plain
far-reaching singleness of that wide stare

Is a reminder of the strength and pain
Of being young; that it can't come again,
But is for others undiminished somewhere.

I've been sorta reading the complete saga of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. I still need to get back to reading it. It is a very interesting work, because Douglas Adams as a unique sense of humor, and an interesting way of writing things and portraying characters.

 

[AuronKae]

I'm re-reading Stephenie Meyer's The Host. ^^

 

[Zorak]

Lots and lots of sheet music as of late

But I did just finish Crime and Punishment, so when I get bored of the sheet music I might try and find some other Dostoevsky.

But I also saw a Hemmingway book downstairs on the coffee table, For Whom the Bell Tolls, so I might give that a go. And find my T.S Elliott collection since the title of that book has reminded me it's missing.
