Books, authors, and reading.

[Hexadecimal*]

I've been way too tired to read for the longest time and it makes me so sad. However, I do need to find some new stuff to read as I used up the small list I had (I am such a picky reader). Maybe I should finish the Harry Potters but I really lost interest while reading the book that comes after Goblet of Fire.

I really like Stephen King's older books, especially The Shining. He's supposedly writing a sequel to it, which I hope is good.

What bums me out is how many repeat books I had to read while in school. While I was exposed to some great books I would've never found on my own, (To Kill a Mockingbird and Flowers for Algernon in particular) I actually ended up reading Flowers for Algernon THREE TIMES! ARGH! Also, I hated The Great Gatsby. Nothing happens! It's just a rich guy throwing a bunch of parties and getting killed at the end. The play Death of a Salesman bored me to tears as well.

I used to grab a Tintin comic fairly frequently to re-read. The Castafiore Emerald is by far my favorite since it was an "adventure" where the cast all stays at home and it's mostly all comedy. I swear there's nothing funnier than seeing Haddock get super pissed at a parrot.
