Finally finished East of Eden. Astonishingly beautiful work of art. Added to my "read once every few years" list. Would love to see a modern retelling in movie form, perhaps by the Coens. Reading The Hobbit now in preparation for the movie next winter. I've read it enough to practically have it memorized, but It's no less enjoyable now than the first time.
Also reading:
The Bhagavad Gita
Introducción a la literatura Hispano-Americana: de la conquista al siglo XX
ghostbread ~ Sonja Livingston
The Metamorphosis ~ Kafka
The Northern Clemency ~ Philip Hensher
Trying to shorten my pile of must-reads before the heavy part of the semester hits and I don't have as much time for reading anymore.
~ HC, I've read the series, but I'm not enough of a fan to want to discuss the books. I don't say that to bash the books, they were OK (especially considering they were written by a teenager, or at least the earlier parts of the series were) but considering all of the other fantasy literature that's out there that does what Paolini tried to do, but better, I don't think it's a worthwhile investment of time.
