fredericksHey - want to do something but don't know what? DONATE. Every little bit helps.

I am scared about my impending trial-by-fire once school starts, worried about Krishna's declining health, and alternating between anger/sadness by the happenings in the areas affected by Katrina, so I decided to spend my worries away. Foolish, I know, but I got paid yesterday and being a social pariah I have little else to do for distraction. Picked up the last three GN's of Jack Robinson's Starman, Christopher Paolini's Eragon, "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge" by My Chemical Romance (I figure, hells, I might as well hand in my outsider card already) and Kayne West's new album. West's thing is good, I think; haven't made it all the way through yet. Been bobbing my head quite a bit, so that's always good.

I apologize for not commenting much in other's entries. I've been reading, but I just haven't thought of much to say. Been trying to remedy that.
*
I sorely dislike reading Oprah Bookclub-worthy books in book clubs, but I do it because sometimes I learn something. Why is it that people can't muster it in themselves to approach suggested GN's in the same light? Give it a bloody try - you might learn a little something. Blankets is intriguing. Why can no one else see that? *sigh* Every time I read it I fall more and more in love with it.

Date: 2005-09-05 11:56 pm (UTC)I think I say that just to be contrary. *grin* Through Oprah's pimping I found She's Come Undone, which I thought was a pretty interesting book. I take issue with the ultra emotional books, the sort of things that I associate with The Big O. And she's introduced oodles and oodles of people to literary classics this summer, something I think is very noteworthy. My mother, a woman who rarely reads anymore, actually totes around Faulker because Oprah said it was okay.
