Oohh! I have that book. How is it so far? I've been meaning to read it.


It's hard to say, I'm only on page 31. >< Not because it's not good, but I've just been busy lately to read it. I am enjoying it though. It's about three people, who are strangers to each other, dealing with and trying to resolve their own personal demons. The first chapter was an introduction to Lena Grove, one of the three main characters. I love the way Faulkner writes. And I do have to say, as much as I loved The Sound and the Fury, this one so far is a bit easier to read. I think it was just mostly Benjy's segment in Sound and the Fury that really confused me when I started to read it. Loved it though. <3

But yeah, I bought that Oprah's book club Faulkner thingy back in May. It says to read As I Lay Dying in June, The Sound and the Fury in July, and Light in August in August. So I wanted to do that. ^^;

Anyways, I finished Dead Until Dark a few days ago. I think Charlaine Harris was high when she wrote it. ph34r.gif

I bought that set!! But... I suck at sticking with the whole scheduled reading thing. And yeah... I had a hard time with Sound and the Fury. The lack of differentiating with the past and present was confusing.

I am reading plays written by Patrick Marber. I love "closer", it was entertaining and also very deep. Great read!

Thanks Carol for the banner. Fleur rocks for making Owen look sexy!

I just finished Mountains Beyond Mountains (by Tracy Kidder) for college.. and Kiss Kiss (by Roald Dahl) - Roald Dahl's stories for adults are quite interesting.. macabre.

Currently reading: The Remains of the Day (by Kazuo Ishiguro) and rereading Howl's Moving Castle (by Diana Wynne Jones).

YEAH!! I just got my Full Moon mailed to me yesterday. I am temporary dropping all the other books and is sharing to read this book with my sis. As far as I know, from those Amazon reviews and the first hundred pages of the book, it's as good as Twilight.
