What'cha Reading?

[Flâneuse]

The Buddha and the Sahibs by Charles Allen. It's about the discovery of Buddhism's lost history in India.

Just bought two Onion books. One, the very first, that I lost ten years ago, and another one, "The Onion Book of Known Knowledge: A Definitive Encyclopaedia Of Existing Information"

I had to stop eating while I was reading them because I almost choked to death from laughter several times.

Just finished Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I thought it was fantastic ... and completely depressing.

The Trial

[Tellenbach]

Dirty Minds by Kayt Sukel. This book explores the neurochemistry behind love. It examines why women fall for bad boys, why marriages suffer after the birth of a child, how early neglect may lead to promiscuity, etc. Truly fascinating stuff.

Got around to finishing Notes from Underground.

I bought Runaway Horses by Yukio Mishima a couple of years ago. When I found out it was the second book of a tetralogy, I bought the first, Spring Snow, and decided to read it before I jumped at Runaway Horses.

About three years later, I'm finally almost finished with Spring Snow. The prose is good but... The story's halting at times. Runaway Horses seems to promise more fire and blood. /7w8

Also read Sun and Steel by the same guy. Really fascinating writer.

In Search of Lost Time Volume One: Swann's Way

[A window to the soul]

My dog is so sweet. Rumor has it, I read a book about how to train a dog to politely beg and do cute tricks. Since I haven't read the rumored book, I am obviously a natural dog whisperer and must begin writing my own book. I feel it is my duty to share this special gift.
