Star Wars - Bounty hunter wars trilogy (Pretty good stuff, Boba is well crafted, best Star Wars literature I've read so far.)
Conan, Conan The Adventurer, Conan And The Spider God (currently complete Chronicles of Conan by Robert E. Howard). Great adult fantasy. When it's good it's gold, but not always consistent, especially outside of R E. Howards creation. Been pretty light hearted this year so far, next books are gonna be hardcore sci-fi, thinking about reading Hothouse again (Brian Aldiss), been in the back of mind recently. |

About 2 weeks ago I finished Crime and Punishment and I'd rate it a B-.
I am almost done with the Great Gatsby and, unless the last chapter is somehow really horrible, I would rate it an A-. I really like how Fitzgerald writes. |

started the general in his labyrinth by marquez and maybe eighteen pages in realized i'm not sure if i've grown bored of his writing style atm or if it could be a case of lazy synapses and an overlooked fog of habitually abusing instant gratification. whatever. i should have picked memories of my melancholy whores.
and i've been trying to dailydabble in against the day but that's impossibly difficult. everytime i pull it out i end up spending hours away only to walk away crazy drained with an overload swimming in my skull. fucking asshole.  |

Am I the only one who thought that Brave New World was boring and stupid?
Or how about realizing that Vonnegut seems less relevant the older I get? |

It was only the second Vonnegut book I read. I liked Galapogos more but I thought I was missing something in terms of how people build up his writing.

A Farewell To Arms. it takes forever to get going and then it grips like a vice. all the way through i was anticipating the famous line "sometimes I see myself dead in the rain" but when it came it still knocked me out as did the famously bleak ending. Christ I'm glad I was born at the soft end of the 20th Century.
