got Chopper 1-3 in as well, doubt they'll be particularly high-brow reading, but they should be a laugh

I'm slowly making my way through Rolling Stone, Self and Domino magazines, Atonement by Ian McEwan, and Istanbul: Memories and the City by Orhan Pamuk.

I'm in the process of reading 'Interview With The Vampire'. I'm a slow reader, I like to take everything thing in and let it settle.

It's an incredible book, so well written. Quite possibly one of the best books I've read.

What class?

Someone from the here (I want to say tear stained glass, but I could be way off) recommended that book to me. It's been on my to-read list since.

It's for a Native American Studies class. If you aren't already familiar with the realities of Native peoples' brush with the whites you could easily read it and think "What the hell is this guy so pissed off about?" It's a good book so far, but the author certainly doesn't hold his tongue.
