You fail to take into account the raping that Alan Moore works suffer in translation to film.

That makes even more justification to watch the movie first, enjoy it, then read the book and enjoy it moreso. Whereas if I watch the movie with knowledge of the book in my head, I can only be disappointed.

Righteously disappointed, and it stops true fans from facepalming when you say 'No, this isn't how it happens' when reading the book.

i am reading "Aleister Crowley the beast demystified"
its an interesting read :)

I’m reading the slides from a lecture I had last week. They make no sense. To estimate the number of species in a population, we divide the population in a number of classes. The classes themselves should be defined consistently, but the classes of two populations when share some classes and have other unique to them. The number of classes we define is S, and si is a sample of S. We then use a function of time to calculate S.

Wait, so, what’s the population size?

Reading fiction would be a luxury to me. The closest I can come to it is Steve Jones.

i don't normaly buy books that are non - fiction books, but the one i'm reading turned out to be good :)

you COULD spend more time in the fan fic section, or if that's not possible for some reason ... here's a little fiction for you.

There was a little mouse called jimmy.
and i destroyed him
The end.

We have a fan fic section? I'M LEAVING!

Reading The Interview by King Hurley. Terrible book.

What? I thought we needed to mix it up a bit.

Read Maus, both books again.

The ending didn't make me feel so crummy this time around.

So, that's nice.

It's one of those endings you cry at, but you cry good. Like Oedipus Rex or From Hell.

Am reading Beloved by Toni Morrison, it would appear Freud was right.

I'm just starting 'Barrel Fever' by David Sedaris. I feel like I'm gonna love it.

I just re-read "Nineteen Eighty-Four" by George Orwell. Fairly interesting, and I can't say that things aren't going that way.

if i ever even see the book "Of Mice And Men" again i will die. we've been reading it through in school and i found it to be madening.


Also i have lost the game. sorry.

Sigh.

Did i upset you?

There are a lot of things wrong with this post.

A lot.

well you know i thought i'd make it fit in my streak of posting meaningless crap...

Reading Phaedra (OH GOD OH GOD THE MELODRAMA IT BURNS IT BURRRRRRRNS) and A Week Like Any Other as part of my literary course. Once I'm done with them I can try my hand at understanding Plato's Republic again. Yay!

I never realized how fucking crazy Greek philosophers were untill I started reading a book by the 'best' of them. Now I fucking hate ancient Philosophy, although it makes for a nice story.

Death on the installment plan.

Going through Neil Gaiman's Sandman 1-6 now. God I love these books. First graphic novel I read was Preludes and Nocturnes.

Ender in Exile.

OSC continues to sell out in a way that is still entertaining.

The Three Kingdoms, attributed to Luo Guanzhong.

Cao Cao you fucking bastard.

I haven't read 1984 yet, still got so much else to catch up on.
I love the Dynasty Warriors series so I should probably read the novel sometime.

It's...quite different I warn you, not so much revolves around the ensemble darkhorses.

Yeah, it's more along the lines of

"Cao Cao and Shan Ren went to Xudi. They thought there were people with knives in a building, but after slaughtering them realized it was a family preparing a meal."

I am reading " The Magicians' Guild " by Trudi Canavan.

I like fantasy and sci-fi books better. Also I am writing my own. Maybe put it up here sometime. :P

Join the crowd, I'm on chapter 2 of mine.

W00t!

With creative input from me, thankyewverymuch.

I'm on the intro of my story. It's like a combination of Alien, The Thing, and Cloverfield.

Go ahead and tell me how bad an idea that sounds, but my English teacher will eat it up.

So it's about a giant impregnating transforming blob in Antarctica?
