QUOTE(xxinn0c3ntwunxx @ Apr 12 2004, 11:52 PM) yup..the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky i just finished reading that book last week! i didn't get the point of the story at all, and thought it was rather boring..... but it's probably just me. right now i'm reading The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov. It's such a great story, it's takes place in 1930's Soviet Union during the stalinist purges. Satan and his talking black cat come and show up in a town where nearly everyone refuses to believe in God or the devil. Bulgakov intertwines multiple narratives into his novel.. even an intriguing interpretation of Jesus' crucifixion and the characters surrounding that historic event (Pilate, Judas, Matthew,etc.) Then everything goes into chaos once they find out Satan IS real, and is actually living in Russia. So far, it has been a novel of enduring interest, go and buy it! let's see... books i've finished recently? lots. i read 1-2 books a week depending on how long and intriguing the plot is. here are my recently-read books: 01. The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night Time - Mark Haddon my rating: 9/10 02. Doctor Zhivago - Pasternak my rating - 8/10 (you might get really confuse by his confusing plot, but just finish the book and at the end you'll understand everything.) 03. The Brothers Karamazov - Doestovsky - my rating: 10/10 04. Inside the Vatican - the politics and organization of the catholic church - tom reese my rating: 7/10 05. Can You Keep a Secret? - sophie kinsella my rating - 10/10 (super fun read!) |
