Okay. So I've been away. Yeah, well, the electricity's not up yet, but well, I've been reading alot. Apart from 2 days spent at Pason's house mainly playing NFS:MW (which was quite fun, althought kind of mindless). Here's a quick summary.
John Steinbeck to Back (oh haha. pun) The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden. Let's see. I've picked up the book on at least three occasions trying to read it. So let's say it isn't that engaging, but it was a nice book, and I finally finished it this time. Not bad at all, once you get into the hang of things (and have no other things to distract you). Steinbeck's really perceptive and it's thought-provoking if nothing else.
East of Eden. Oh my goodness, this is one of the best books I've ever read, really. It's so darned engaging, even though it's quite a hefty tome (at least the one I got - the Steinbeck centennial edition - was). Very, very, very, very good. Read, please, words defy me.
Vernon God Little - I sort of wrongly estimated this when I first read it. It's quite funny after all, and well, the action after the first half was quite exciting. And overall it was quite a good book, thoughtful, and humourous.
Everything is Illuminated, (same as TGoW, picked up for the third time) well, I didn't really like this book, it was kinda confusing. Bleh.
Now to wait til my electricity is back up.
