It's been hard for me because it's Salinger's straight character book. If you've ever read The Catcher in the Rye, or really anything else by Salinger, then you know that his works are all about characters, and what happens to them (ie: the plot) is almost a byproduct of that. However, most of his other works have some form of rising action, and so far Seymour: An Introduction seems to be simply a discussion of who Seymour Glass was to those who knew him best. And Salinger is so verbose anyway (like I have room to talk xD) that I get distracted easily. But I promise I'll get it done.

After I finally finish it, I'll read The Dubliners by James Joyce, but that will probably be a quick day read. I'm looking forward to it IF MY SISTER EVER GIVES IT BACK.

Seymour is pretty funny. I like Franny and Zooey and Nine Stories a little more, though. And Dubliners is pretty cool too. Some of the stories are great.

Right now I'm reading V. by Thomas Pynchon. Good stuff. Image:

The Actuaries' Survival Guide
Introduction to Psychology

**Shadowflare** · 09-15-2005, 01:38 AM

'Batman: Hush', vol 1-2. For something with more dialogue than just word balloons though, I'm reading 'The Second World War' by John Keegan. I'll probably be delving back into the Pratchett books again fairly soon as well.

I'm reading Marilyn Manson's autobiography and I must say it is demented stuff he's revealing about his relatives. So far his upbringing is just a big messy mess of stupid vapid girls who make for good storytelling.

Not for kids, obviously.

Interesting stuff.

I just started The Lovely Bones today. I don't think I've ever cried so much so fast. xD I feel horrible.

I'm starting The Crucible soon though.

**Rase** · 09-15-2005, 05:32 AM

Bah, stole my thread idea.

Anyway, I'm currently reading The Scarlet Letter and The Crucible for school. I just finished The Catcher in the Rye, and am now going to start re-reading The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe to tide me over until the movie comes out.

I'm currently in the middle of Shaman's Crossing, by Robin Hobb. It's the first in her new trilogy. So far it's not quite as orgasmically wonderful as her previous work, but it certainly beats most of what's on the fantasy market.

**MoonsEcho** · 09-16-2005, 07:14 AM

I'm re-reading the Death Gate Cycle books by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman :<3: Currently I'm on the second volume: Elven Star.
