I have been reading: -Visual C 5 in 21 Days 4th Edition by Nathan Gurowich & Ori Greenwich I told myself that I would learn C! I have been mainly perusing articles on FL Studio while I take time to read this, but I am still getting in a page or 2 a day! -Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman A reread. I got an extensive edition that includes the original publishing and the additions added to it. I used to read it hitchhiking and it is bringing up some good feelings. -Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins Another reread. My beloved has never read a book by the man, but I read some outloud to him and he enjoyed it. Now we take a few hours every week to read it out loud to each other. It is fun. -A Prayer for Owen Meany I honestly dislike this book so much that I have put it down and have been putting off finishing it. I might take it with me travelling to force myself to read this book, but dear lord, can I not get annoying Owen Meany's voice out of my head. My beloved is reading: -Tropic of Capricorn by Henry Miller An excellent sequel. -Catch 22 by Joseph Heller He finished this reread recently. We discussed how we felt about the book to each other. Upcoming: I'm hoping to read some scifi as well as read more technical books. There is also some juicy cheap erotica calling my name, but I am trying to get focused on my technical education. My boyfriend wants to read a nonfiction book on racism that I added to the library.
At least, you can hear it. As would HAVE SAID CAPTAIN JACK SPARROW . Funny fact: the all-caps was to mimic how the Christ talk in some bible (I have heard) I read the book in my twenties, twice (which I barely do). Loved it, and still vividly remember a few scene (the Armadillo, and the finger cut). I can get why you are bored by the book. I dont get the " dislike this book so much" part. Except if the religious theme make you angry. But the theme is not apparent until the very end, and it stay pretty mild. I also loved and read this book in my twenties, which make me guess you're in your twenties, and we must all go through those books :) Fun fact: most of the poem are lies. Whitman was not were he said he was (not even close), at the time he said he was. I guess art is just elaborate lyingcan I not get annoying Owen Meany's voice out of my head.
