    Currently trying to read Zumdahl's big fat chemistry book sixth edition. Definately not light reading... especially for a grade ten student when this is meant for uni students. damnation to high school!

    I'm reading Fast Food Nation ~ pretty good overall, very thorough and you get to know exactly what goes into those burgers. Sometimes if I'm tired though, I end up skipping a few lines here or there w/ way too much stats. Starting to read A Picture of Dorian Gray soon.

    They're making a movie out of this and I hear it's going to be in theatres soon or next yr. I've seen the trailer online, it looks much more impressive than the old BCC version.

    Self reminder - Update blog more often and continue editing/writing for TOV fanfic.

    i'm currently reading 3 books, and they are Carrie by Stephen King, The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks, and Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. Frankenstein is the most fascinating book to read. The Rescue is pretty good too, if only you're into romance stuffs. Carrie is my first Stephen King book, and i think it's ok, not capturing as Frankenstein or The Rescue.

    Was reading Animal Farm by George Orwell a few nights ago. Loved it.

    Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller

    Although my journalism teacher assigned this reading for the book club members, the school isn't allowing us to read it... I've purchased the book; I will read it.

    The reviews on Amazon is quite mixed. what's your opnion orange?

    apparently, the word is that Jon, Tyrion and Daenerys are all absent from this book. the wait is already started before I even opened book 4. I hope at least Arya's story is engaging.
    It means you got eyes like apostrophes, you dress white, talk black, and drive Jew. So how am I supposed to know what kind of zipperhead dog-munching dink you are if you don't?
