read 100 books in a year

lawl Ive read this so many times, and it still freaks me out. i just bought paradisio and purgatorio however, and wanted to read them all in order. What you say? It wasen’t a hundred NEW books in a year, it was a hundred books. so shussssh.

Being compleately mezmorized by the film, I had no choice but to go out and read the novel…so far it seems to be better than the movie. Some of the scenes were rather choppy in the film and some of the dialogue did’nt make sense as they had cut out a lot of the pretext that is included in the book. I love the perspective of the novel, in how it is told from the point of view of an average bystander. Reminds me of the narrator in Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby, whom was an extrodinary person in his own right, but certaintly not the focus.

Wow, this book is nuts. Palahniuk is one of my favorite authors, and I have a ton of respect for the man. I still thought his last book was weak compared to his previous fiction. [probably as it was non-fiction, and I usually think fantasy is much more entertaining than reality]

Anyway, The first story of the kid and his intestines is pretty much the grossest thing I have ever read. Which makes me feel I got my 20 dollars worth, already. :D It definately won’t take me long to finish this one.

A Clockwork Orange – Anthony Burgess
I love the slang in this novel…I could be extreamely amused by the dialogue in it alone. I’ve actually read it a while back, but I wanted to reread it so I could absorb all the details better. It’s like dickenson says, you should read and reread books over and over again.
