Through The Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll.

Bit tough, I have to admit. Nothing quite makes sense. :sigh:

ETA: I take that back. It makes sense, but it requires more effort than I'm used to. Which says something. :smile:
“Is it very long?” Alice asked, for she had heard a good deal of poetry that day.

“It’s long,” said the Knight, “but it’s very, very beautiful. Everybody that hears me sing it–either it brings the tears into their eyes, or else–”

“Or else what?” said Alice, for the Knight had made a sudden pause.

“Or else it doesn’t, you know. The name of the song is called ‘Haddock’s Eyes’.”

“Oh, that’s the name of the song, is it?” Alice said, trying to feel interested.

“No, you don’t understand,” the Knight said, looking a little vexed. “That’s what the name is called. The name really is 'The Aged Aged Man’.”

“Then I ought to have said 'That’s what the song is called?’” Alice corrected herself.

“No, you oughtn’t: that’s quite another thing! The song is called 'Ways and Means’: but that’s only what it’s called, you know!”

“Well, what is the song, then?” said Alice, who was by this time completely bewildered.

“I was coming to that,” the Knight said. “The song really is 'A-sitting on a Gate’: and the tune’s my own invention.”

Keys and I were just talking about this book!

I love this book as well. It was one of the first books that came with me during my move from America to England.

Stay determined, R for Rico is across the corner.

I'm attempting again to read Hesse's Steppenwolf, which counts as one of the few books I never managed to finish. Strange enough, I should normally relate to this character's loneliness, emotional crisis and idealism - or should have, back when I was 16 and my mind was a spleen-colored Pollock-like scatter of thoughts and perceptions, but I haven't evolved much since anyway - but the writing is so dense and self-referential and the protagonist kinda makes you want to throw a shoe at, lol. The fragments in which he interacts with other actual characters fare better, but the inner monologues fail so much to keep me interested.

I'm also reading over and over the Host Posts that I have already prepared for the game I'm still hoping to take place eventually. :micro-shifty-emoji:

No, when I read that, I thought alot of it was funny too. It is written that way.

Is the anthological scene from the movie depicted the same way in the book?

I've finished reading a german book, in German, called Erledigungen vor der Feier (which I hope my B2 language skills have not deceived me in translating this as "Resolutions before the holiday[s?]". I won it as a prize at a presentation contest in my German course. It was enjoyable, a collection of short stories about interactions and relationship quirks, sort of like finding the funny side in otherwise serious issues - although the moral, of course, is that the issues are serious and often have to do with the narrator himself, who is trying to find the funny side in 'em. It was also practical for reading a bit in German, especially a lot of simple past verbs, which, if one is familiar, can shapeshift into strange beasts in this language.

Right now, although I have no idea what has gotten over me, I'm reading Moby Dick. Call me Ishmaay elohel.

So... I just finished The Murder of Roger Acrkoyd, by Agatha Christie.

I gotta say, this book is simply amazing. Recommended to anyone who likes mystery stories.

It starts boring but then it catches up and the ending.... holy crap, the ending.

My internet was down for 5 days, and in those days I read Ursula K Le Guin's The Dispossessed, and got about 40% through Naomi Klein's The Shock Doctrine. The Dispossessed was pretty interesting from a political point of view, Le Guin leans very much toward Kropotkin-esque mutual aid based anarchism, and a fictional book that explores a society that is explicitly based on those ideas was pretty thought provoking. It was one of those books that you will lay in bed thinking about if you read it at night. As with other scifi favorites of mine, like Frank Herbert's Dune, Le Guin's way of creating and exploring culture and politics is the most engrossing aspect, I'd recommend it to anyone with a passing interest.

The Shock Doctrine is honestly depressing as hell to read. Naomi Klein must be a hell of a writer though, to make me read hundreds of pages about neoliberal reforms.

I am SO excited the third book in a trilogy I love came out today! I am going to start it tonight! It is by Jeff Cronin, the first is The Passage, second, The Twelve (or maybe the other way around). It is post apolcalyptic fiction with "virals" (think the MOST BAD ASS VAMPS YOU HAVE EVER SEEN_-- no sparkling, no tortured souls, just horrible bloody deaths. We got a corker of a cliff hanger in the second book so I am STOOOOKED to read this tonight. If it does not pick right up where it left off I will be UN happy. :srsnod: :mad:

Oh wow, I haven't read Raymond Carver since college. Whenever I come to a pivot point, I think to myself, "My life is going to change, I can feel it" which was how one of the stories ended in the collection we read for a Minimalism class. I still have my annotated copy of that book somewhere.

Four Plays by Matei Vișniec. His A Paris Attic Overlooking Death was the first play I went to as a teenager and despite my gaffe of not acquiring headphones and having to watch then everything in French (which I hardly understood), the spectacle was actually spellbinding - it received a great staging by a leading director.

Can't decide what book, next.

Oryx & Crake (by Margeret Atwood), per the book club list that fingersplints created. I'm reading that one right now.

I recently finished Cradle to Cradle, a book about the life of the many different items we encounter on a daily basis, and what happens when they're no longer useful. A little depressing, but informative.

I checked that out of a cruise ship library on my last cruise nine years ago. Yes, I read a novel on a cruise. Two actually. Eloh had just given birth to our son- the cruise was planned and paid for well before she knew she was pregnant- so we spent a lot of time in the cabin for nursing and naps.

I enjoyed it a lot, even if a lot of it felt dated. I plan to read the other books in the series someday.

Octopus!: The Most Mysterious Creature in the Sea by Katherine Harmon Courage.

I have fallen in love with these clever, mischievous, fascinating cephalopods. :srsnod:
