QUOTE(gojira @ Aug 21 2009, 10:19 AM)  may i asked what you liked about it i think it was the way his letters seemed like a stream of consciousness and reminded me of the way i write in my journal. i sometimes don't remember the actual words in conversations, but i write down a lot of stuff like he did. oh and the end where we find out what really happened to him scared me because i definitely was not expecting that. |

I'm reading Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, which is a really interesting take on US history.
(And looking back over my posts, I wrote about this a few weeks ago; but it's interesting and worth re-mentioning.) |

I'm having trouble getting through it, though, because of the writing style. Paul Johnson's book, A History of the American People, is a good book to read along with Zinn's because of the writers personal history and opinions.

Reading The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan. It was a pretty random choice since I was desperate for a book to read from my reading list, but it's actually not that bad so far. I also have to read The Crucible. Ehhh.

Had to read it for APUSH. I've gotten to the part where Columbus was being a arse to the indians, then I quit reading. Found out I don't even have the same APUSH Teacher I was suppose to have. B] So, no AP reading for me<3. I hate Reading. :( |

I'm also reading Tom Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons, and of course Naomi Klein's No Logo (which I've been reading for a while).

^ I've read that book too many times.
It's been so long since I've read something that hasn't been assigned, so I'm reading Stories of Anton Chekhov. We'll see how long this lasts. |

I picked up Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 today, but I might hold off on reading it until I finish Charlotte Simmons. Maybe.

I just purchased Neal Stephenson's The Big U, sort of on a whim. I read it about 2˝ years ago, but it's pretty good and a quick read, and I wanted to read it again. It has some good ideas (most of which Stephenson fleshed out in later novels, such as Snow Crash) and I particularly like his style in The Big U. Stephenson isn't actually a fan of the novel (it's his first), and from a technical standpoint it's not that well-written, but I still think it'll be a good book to re-read.
