What I Talk About When I Talk About Running - Murakami

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle - Murakami

The Trial - F. Kafka

God i don't think ill be able to finish windup bird, it seems everything i'm reading i've read before in his other works, gosh, its like every, every little thing repeats itself over and over again in his novels.
That non fiction about running made me pretty upset too, he goes on and on about the same things, we never get a deep insight, "i couldnt do x" why? "i dont know", "how much did my leg hurt?" "a lot" "why, i dont know" jesus

I re-read the Deathly Hallows over the past couple days due to a severe case of nostalgia

I have to say that I was a little disappointed in the ending, after all of these years. After all of the buildup over 7 books and the most powerful villain in the book's universe dies due to happenstance

Anyways, I'm going to finish DUNE, finally. I stopped last year because work was insane.

Don't get me wrong, they're absolutely enthralling as a kid, and I'm glad that (prior to the film releases) it encouraged children to read, and get excited about reading - but they're definitely still young adult books. For example I found myself continuously wishing that Ron and Hermoine had more dimension to them, as well as most of the other characters. Still, you'd be hard-pressed to find a kid's book series with more lore than this one.

I like Les Miserables for its historical value because Hugo excels at capturing the cultural zeitgeist and everything that was going on in France during the restoration, but for some reason the book is not provoking that much of an emotional response in me, and I feel like it probably should.

I enjoyed it. It was not quite as dreamy as Kafka on the Shore or the Wind-up Bird Chronicle, but I still liked it. I'm a fan of Murakami.

I'm only about 30 pages in but so far I'm enjoying it. It's well written, and though the parallels are extremely obvious, it's entertaining enough and short enough that it works. If it was long and drawn out it would definitely be worse

I'm only a few chapters in so I can't say for sure, however it has been less bitching and more of a "we're down but not out" for democrats. Also it seems like she's trying to be as bipartisan as possible, and talk about how much she loves America. I suspect there won't be too much bitching as she doesn't want to come off as petty and sour.

I despised the section of The portrait... where he is talking about his daily routine in the Jesuit college, ending with him being asked if he would pursue a vocation. It was so boring and monotonous. Is that supposed to be meta? As in he was bored and Joyce was attempting to make me feel that too? The next few passages about going to Trinty, and then seeing the lady while he is swimming are a lot more exciting, but damn that aformentioned passed is dragging down my overall impression of the book.
