Ben Cartwright: You and your education. Adam Cartwright: Education is progress! Now what have you got against it? Ben Cartwright: I don't have anything against education - as long as it doesn't interfere with your thinking!
Currently: I was reading Adventures of Huckleberry Finn but the DSi has gotten in the way. Next: I want to read "Secret Garden", "Oliver Twist" and "The Three Musketeers". Favorite: "Jane Eyre" or "Wuthering Heights".
Somebody set up us the bomb. Wii: 8703 7486 8875 3789 I love PWN3NG NintendoLife members on Tatsunoko :-)
Currently: Cities of the Plain, by Cormac McCarthy
Next ReRead: The Road, by Cormac McCarthy, in anticipation of the movie
Next New Read: I usually decide on a whim, but my choices are The Satanic Verses (Salman Rushdie), something I've been meaning to read for two or three years now but keep putting off, The Crying of Lot 49 (Thomas Pynchon), by Chicken's recommendation (I think this is the one he said to get... regardless, it's the one I got), or The Shadow of the Wind (Carlos Ruiz Zafon), some random book that looked interesting... I haven't bought a book this way in too long.
Currently: The Vintage Book of Amnesia (an anthology of short fiction in which all of the stories feature amnesia or memory loss as a storytelling mechanism)
Next Reread: Inherent Vice, by Thomas Pynchon (I wanted to reread it since the minute I finished it...)
Next Fresh Read: no idea yet. I might track down Shakespeare's Timon of Athens, as I haven't read that yet and Nabokov makes a few references to it in Pale Fire. (Which is fantastic, by the boo.)
Favorite Book: Gravity's Rainbow, by Thomas Pynchon. Runner up might be Joseph Heller's Catch-22, which was the book that showed me, for the first time, the immense power of competent fiction. It's what inspired me to write many years ago, and, consequently, I owe it my sanity.
