The talk of The Trial reminded me that I should really read it since I borrowed a copy a while ago.

And then while wasting time in Barnes and Noble I came across a copy of a graphic novel version of it for 75% off, which I then bought.

That was then, this is dumb.

Nope, illustrated by Montellier.

Just finished up David Hume: Selected Essays and Hamilton, Adams, Jefferson: The Politics of Enlightenment and the American Founding. I think I'll read something fun/easy next. Probably Holidays in Hell by P.J. O'Rourke.

The 120 Days of Sodom is a fun and light read.

I have a ton of books on my shelf begging to be read but I'm studying for the GRE instead.

Pretty cool that I ain't taken a math class since HS since I tested out.
¡Practice! Practice! Practice. You can always ask an elitist for help.

I'm re-reading 1984 at the moment, purely because I came across it amongst a box of my old things. It has given me the urge to get back into reading, once I finish reading it I plan to track down a copy of The Vandal by Ann Schlee.

I read that years and years ago at school and can't remember anything about it.

Also, I'm strangely attracted to the idea of buying a Sony Reader... the problem being that the PRS-700 is not being sold outside of the US. The PRS-505 seems ok... at the end of the day, I think I like the idea of it more than I'd actually use it... We'll see.

You can't make it through The Crying Of Lot 49? That's an afternoon read, practically.

yeah, I guess that one's doable. I was thinking more of Against the Day and Gravity's Rainbow.

Gravity's Rainbow does rule, and the new one sounds better than Against the Day. Not that I've read either of them.

I LOVED Gravity's Rainbow! It took me four months to read it but I was blown away by every page. To me it felt like Catch-22, Apocalypse Now, and Naked Lunch mixed in a blender... It was hilarious!

I read Crying of Lot 49 years ago but don't remember much about it.

I haven't read Against the Day.

Thinking about my favourite books. Depressed me because I realised I hadn't read many. A rough top five:

1. Herman Melville, Moby-Dick
2. Joseph Conrad, Nostromo
3. Andrei Bely, Petersburg
4. Thomas Pynchon, The Crying of Lot 49
5. Theodore Dreiser, Sister Carrie
