Hmmm, just the other day. I got 'perks of being a wallflower' from a friend for Christmas and would've felt bad if I didn't read it.

September? Sad to say, but I barely read actual books. I tend to fall asleep instantly. I tried curing that with BL novels recently, but it was hit & miss, lol. I do love books. (I just need pictures.)

I seldom read actual books on my own behalf. I don't even read light novels or anything. I'm a visual learner so there has to be pictures; and not just one every thirty pages.

Though, I did have to read The House on Mango Street for school recently. I like the way the chapters were set up and that it wasn't really a continuous plot. It was okay actually. It was short and not as dramatic as assumed, but it was still good.

I grew up watching the tv adaptations as a child, so now I've embarked on a mission to read all 15 Jin Yong novels in chinese. Let's see how far my shoddy reading skills bring me.

Like an hour ago, it was Wuthering Heights (honestly though, Jane Eyre was so much better.)

Once upon a time, before I was a college student, I checked out an armful of books every week, plowed through them, and checked out another armful on my next visit. Sadly, I haven't done that in a while.

Instead, I've been plodding through various works of "literary genius," which often are and sometimes aren't, but never seem to be as fun as the books I used to read. That may have something to do with the fact that I never had to write papers on the ones I used to read.

Yesterday I started and finished Ira Levin's This Perfect Day. It was fun. 😀

Last Saturday, I read "Book of Cain".

It tells the storyline of the Diablo universe (the game serie Diablo, Diablo II and Diablo III).

Yesterday. I'm reading "A Clash of Kings". I'm hooked. I keep on having to tear myself away from the book so I can actually get some work done for a deadline in less than 2 weeks 🤣

Today, I'm reading Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky and finding it quite entertaining.

So many, lately, that scarcely an hour passes without a portion of it devoted to a book. Writing programs are just like that, I guess.

At the moment I'm rereading both number9dream and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World as reference material for a rather lengthy ongoing project. The past twenty-four hours have also included at least sweeping selections from The Madonnas of Echo Park, Out Stealing Horses, Tree of Smoke, and Ondaatje's Coming Through Slaughter. I suspect I'll be working through bits of Sanshiro, The Ruined Map, 2666, and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities as writer's block inevitably bubbles up from the murk.
