Finished A Clockwork Orange. Great book, its weird how the movie cut off one chapter and totally changed the theme. Now I'm reading Naked Lunch, which I bought on a whim because William S Burroughs was quoted on the cover of the version of A Clockwork Orange that I bought lol.

I finished the 13th volume of A Series of Unfortunate Events yesterday...actually, read all of it yesterday. Good end to a good series.

Now I'm back to "The Fires of Heaven" by Robert Jordan.

The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham.

Holy shit, this book is :dio: :dio: :dio: !
I'm only into the third chapter and already there's catastrophe, suicide, horror, espionage and plant on human pwnage! This could even rival War of the Worlds on my awesomometer.

Awesome. I may just follow your example here.

I just finished the entire run of Preacher. I read the first three last Tuesday/Wednesday, four and five on Saturday, and six through the end tonight. It's a quarter til 3 now. Good thing I don't have class until 1:15 tomorrow.

Also, everyone should read Preacher. That was amazing.

Again, Craig, sorry for spoiling that for you.

Started Wolves Of The Calla last night. Better than the previous one, so far...

It was about halfway through wolves of the Calla I started to realise that King had totally lost sight of the shore. Its still an entertaining book, but from that point on any potential graneur hinted at in the first three books was more or less gone for me.

Preacher went much the same way for me. Once it got to Dixie Fried I started to get the feeling that Ennis had absolutely no idea how he could manage something as massive as God vs Genesis, or that he just couldn't be bothered. It was downhill from that point, but still very good. I wasn't happy with the pseudo-retconning he did with characters and God's motivation in the last book.

As for the ending: bleh, it was no great twist. Fret not.

Yeah, the ending is really abrupt. I also didn't like what became of Cassidy in the end.

Finished Triffids and I'm on Brave New World. Very weird tome indeed, this.
