"I Shall Not Hate" by Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish. It's a very touching, very tragic story...

I don't really like reading tragic stories when I know they're going to end badly...

I'm reading The Gift of Rain by Tan Twang Eng. Pretty cover...pretty good book.

I have always had an interest in old American Indian cultures and lifestyles. I am now reading a non-fiction dealing with the Apache Indians and particularly Cochise and Geronimo... Just started today and already learning some interesting things about Cochise...

I left the book at work, but I'll bring it home tomorrow and edit in the title...

Almost Like Being in Love by Steve Kluger. A little hard to get into but now I can't stop...I started with cheering for the obvious main characters but now, there's a third and I don't know how things will ever work.

It's taking me extra long because I kinda don't want to know. For fear, ya know? xD

On Friday I marathoned volumes 3-6 of Scott Pilgrim. It was really good! I want to see the film now. I hear the trailer isn't a great representation of it, which is lucky because I didn't find it very encouraging.

And now I'm reading The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro. Pretty weird so far, and supposedly it becomes far weirder.

I don't really like Kazuo Ishiguro...people think I'm crazy.

The Vanity of Human Wishes by Samuel Johnson. It's a poem but it's quite interesting.

If you've read Never Let Me Go and didn't like that, then you are indeed crazy.

That's actually the one I like least of the ones I have read. I will explain one day when I don't have to write things that are actually for marks. >_<

Oh. That's a shame...

I need a new book. Anyone read anything really clever lately? Any kind of clever, really.

I've read some good books lately.

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson is really good. I'm reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by... I forget who. But that's also very good. Aaaaaand I haven't read it recently, but The Book Thief is definitely the best book there ever was.

"Bones" by Jonathon Kellerman

(#4 in the 'Earth Children' series)

Just came across it the other day after a buddy of mine and I had discussed the week before. It was on the shelf for sale at the library...

I had read the first three many, many, many years ago when they first came out...

Looking for #5 'the Shelters of Stone' or something like that...
