I just read Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground. Really enjoyed it. Read it straight through in one sitting and now my neck is killing me.

Was thinking about the lyrics of mc chris's Ratz for the first half though:

I read a simple short X-files book that I finished in 1.5 hours. And before that I finished Eaters of the Dead. And saw The 13th Warrior.

Now I'll read another X-files book and then War of the Worlds.

I finished The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last week, and I'm about to start The Summer of Katya by Trevanian.

Yukio Mishima's tetralogy: The Sea of Fertility

It's an amazing four book series by one of Japan's greatest writers(if not the greatest).

I recommend the series to anybody. Read it. I finally finished the last book a few days ago.

currently reading: The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky and also Notes From the Underground. My favourite author.

on the to read list: Shogun by James Clavell. I read King Rat in highschool and haven't read any of his other books.

I raided my sister's book collection(she's been collecting books since she could read) and I've found a number of gems that I'll have to tackle once I'm through the current strain.

I started reading "Six War Years" last night and its quite good. Its an old hard cover book that i found at my grandparents, and its a collection of short stories usually around a page and a half about real experiences of Canadians during the seond waorld war. Keep in mind that its not just form the soldiers perspective but also through the eyes of children, parents, and others.
Some stories are really scary for instance there was this one about a unit killing thier own commanding officer. There are also some little interesting ones too. An example would be a stroy about someone that worked in a munitions factory making bombs and shells.
