"Dear, I fear we're facing a problem..."

I can't seem to enjoy being online too much anymore, as in, for long periods of time. It's more the physicality of it that bothers me. I just don't like sitting for too long. I guess the hiatus had an effect on me after all

You've seen my sister. The answer is: STUPID! XD

Nah, I take that back, I could never forget that.

I've actually already read some Kafka and both La Peste and L'Étranger, but I'm curious to check those other recs. Thanks!

Book recommendations:
Any book by Chuck Palahniuk (start with Fight Club, Haunted, Invisible Monsters or Lullaby; those are the more popular of his work)
Jennifer Government by Max Barry
The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs

[denrito]

I've read Invisible Monsters and Choke, which are just amazing! I hope to read Lullaby soon :)
I saw the movies for both The Count of Monte Cristo and Running With Scissors and I'd really like to read the actual books.

I hope there'll at least be one song you like there :D and woohoo I have a tag! hee.

I definitely second the Rice rec, although I prefer his first book "A Density of Souls". Hmm. And Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" is one of the best books I've read.

[denrito]

Are you kidding?! They're all awesome! In fact, that's like my music taste and I'm surprised I never gave them a try before. But yeah, thanks so much! Watch me go on a downloading frenzy now! lol

heee, I read The Handmaid's Tale last January, I think. Definitely a good book! I'll look into finding those Rice books. They seem worthy if two of you rec them :)

[turnyourankle]

Yay! Proof that last.fm really does have a purpose (and works)!

Awesome. I wish I had more recs. All I've been reading lately's been school related though and uh...not really rec-worthy :/

[denrito]

It does! And I sorta miss it ;_;
I got a new version of Foobar and I can't find a last.fm plugin for it. Poo.

aww, don't worry about it. I already got myself a long list ;)
