Started An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness by Kay Redfield Jamison. So far it is great!

I've been reading The Hunger Games, and was up until 1:30am last night finishing the second book. Now I am on the third one.

It's pretty good. I like the story, but the writing style feels very juvenile. It is first person, present tense, and it just feels too young for me. I guess it's because I've spent the last year reading the books from A Song of Ice and Fire. So I'm not used to the teenage viewpoint...

It's weird because I like the books. I like the story. It feels like something I would write, and that's the problem. I'm not a writer. It shouldn't feel like something I would write. laugh out loud I can't put it down though, and will probably be up all night reading as much as I can to find out what happens next Smilie

just finished You Suck: A Love Story [amazon.com] by Christopher Moore and realized i'm reading the books in this specific series in exactly the wrong order (newest to oldest). i was very confused at the beginning of this one, but it sort of made sense, so i just kept going.

now reading The Mysterious Strainger [amazon.com] by Mark Twain. i had gotten an anti-religious vibe from Twain in other works, but this one is full-on anti-deity.

I'm on the 3rd book. It's like what they say about violence on television... I've found myself desensitized by all the sex. laugh out loud I keep skipping over those parts thinking "Yeah, yeah - fisting your hands into his hair, skimming his hands down your body... yada yada." Shouldn't she have a nasty infection by now? Roll

I started the second book, but I just couldn't take it anymore. The author is incredibly repetitive and the writing overall is just poor. I understand the basis of the book and how it came about, but still. It got super boring.

Now I am reading the Harry Potter eBooks in the British versions. Very subtle differences, but some of them make me giggle. Like calling the trunk of a car a boot. Who knew? laugh out loud
