For the first time in ever, I am posting my summer reading list. @-)1) If you have a book you think I'd like, comment with title and author
( Read more... )
My, that reading list of yours looks pretty pretty.
The Story of My Life by Giacomo Casanova- You'll probably enjoy it most for the, errhem, detail. XD But signore was many things other than a lover, surprisingly. Well, what do you know.
Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel Garcia Marquez- So much angst. :)) It's a short novel, some 200something pages, maybe even less, and very satirical. Read in short doses.
In Lucia's Eyes by Arthur Japin- Not oversexed, thank god. :)) Very delicately written, and I think that translates well from the original Danish. Has a certain air about it that I think you'll appreciate once you've read it.
Stardust by Neil Gaiman- Probably the most, err, bubblegummy of his books, and my least favorite, sadly. >_< Typical Neily in the sense that it's confuzzling at the start, with lots of jumping perspective, then by the later middle it all starts falling neatly into place. Damn. XP That's the saving grace, I think.
Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman- REEEEEEEEAD
( ... )
Adding the following in here, you being a comment whore. <3
Tales of the Otori Trilogy by Lian Hearn- Consists of Across the Nightingale Floor, Grass for His Pillow and Brilliance of the Moon. Frickin' long titles. Frickin' gorgeous books. *-*
Anthony Rapp is teh cuteness. *less-than-threes* I hope it's available here. If not, well, I have a gaggle of aunts coming over from the States. *cackles*
Did you ever wonder why all the emo kids read The Perks of Being a Wallflower? For some strange reason, I haven't. I want to, but I haven't. I hate being emo.
Try:
White Oleander by Janet Fitch The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides Le Divorce by Diane Johnson The Effect of Living Backwards by Heidi Julavits
They're all nice, light, sappy and hormonal.
As for me, I'm in the midst of reading Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. It's the cutest thing ever.
You know how I got Perks into my list? I took a quiz on OK!Cupid called something like "What Book Should You Read Next?", and that was the first title that came up. >:D
Isn't he such a genius? *flutters* Dance Dance Dance just blew me away. I see myself in both Amé and Yuki. :)) I love his wit and prose. He made me sympathize! @_@ Especially with that one-armed poet, strangely. @_@
*waves around copy of Dance Dance Dance like whoaaaaa*

Holy shit. Perks is a stapple for being emo.
Sample line:
I'm both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be.
Weh.
I like Le Divorce. It made me hate the French.
