I read this book called 'A Fine Balance' a little while ago. It was about these East Indian tailors and how Prime Minister Indira Ghandi's policies changed their way of life. And.. it was one of those books where it is really depressing and you think that eventually it will end in happiness, but it doesn't. It was one of the most depressing books I've ever read.

{proof}

Is the title. They recently made a film out of it, which I saw last night but I read the play prior to seeing the movie.

The play is genius, it's so smiple and yet brilliant. It won a Pulitzer Prize for it's brilliance even, lol.

THe plot is hard to explain because of it's circular structure but it's basically about t his woman in her twneties, dealing with the death of her father, his genius and maddness and her genius and her maddness. It's great.

Suede : Love & Poison - by David Barnett last night.
And I managed to plow right through in about eight hours, which isn't bad going considering up until this month it had probably been about two years since I'd read a proper book.

But it was a really really good read, you often get the feeling that biographies of bands on the whole tend to lean more towards the fan market by filling it with "behind the scenes" photos and accentuating long words that no one really understands in the hope of filling more pages, but it was a cracking book...not to say I didn't overly enjoy the photos though.

I might actually get back into the gist of reading real books eventually, ones san the junkie singers I so love to read about.

Haruki Murakami - After Dark. This is the first book I have read by this author, and have to say that I love the mood he creates in his books and that sense of suspense that just makes you want to carry on reading. Sadly I have to say I felt that the book was sorely let down by how it ended which I can only describe as unfinished. I was left with not knowing the conclusion to the characters stories not knowing where they go and why the things that happen to them had happened to them. I felt somewhat cheated by this. However I was so impressed with the authors style of writing that I am going to try another of their books.

The overall concept is very good and a majority of the story is incredibly good, but I found myself at times struggling to work out what was going on and who did what and some of the dialogue and descriptions were just a bit to drawn out. Not bad but a  bit too sophisticated for me.

Eventually finished Stephen King's "The Stand" after two years of dithering about and reading other things. It was life changing.

I finally read the LotR trilogy in January and I wish I had done it years ago, it was one of the most beautiful, awesome things I've ever read.

Working on Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" (followed by "The Vampire Lestat" and "Queen of the Damned") now and then should be going on to Bram Stoker's "Dracula",  Robert Louis Stevenson's "Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" and Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein".

For the last couple of weeks off and on I have been reading James Pattersons 1st to Die, and yesterday I finally gave up on this. The chapters flick back and forwards in the story and it really makes the book feel disjointed and hard to follow. Not sure what type of effect the author was going for with this other than pissing the reader off. This book is from the very successful Womens Murder Club series and it does have some good characters in there. But it's just too damn hard to get into. Stephen King doesn't rate this guy and neither do I.


This will be the first and last JP book I will read and it's not for me.

If someone loves to read books from and about music bands and singers and so on, you should read this. It is only to 2003 or 2004 but anyway it is great source of informations about Anthony Kiedis and RHCP as well.

Recently finished "11/22/63" by Stephen King.

The emotional buildup and story progression sat well with me, I enjoyed every chapter and every mental picture it painted.

During the middle of the book I lost any care I had for the "big picture" (preventing the assassination of JFK) and cared more about what was going on with the "small picture" (all the little things revolving around it, ei. character relationships). 

By the end of the book I felt a bit drained (it stayed in my mind for a while), to what extent I usually realize depending on how easily I can pick up another book after finishing one; with this one, after finishing it, I couldn't bring myself to pick up another book for awhile, at least not one that was emotionally and mentally investing. So in that sense it had a lot of life to it.

Really enjoyed it.

I recently finished reading Jeffery Burton Russell's "The Devil: Perceptions of Evil from Antiquity to Primitive Christianity" and "Satan: The Early Christian Tradition" and will soon be continuing the next three books in the series. I think its safe to say that so far, this is possibly my favorite non-fiction book series. Highly recommended if you are heavily interested in the concept of "the devil/evil" and want a historical/anthropological, well rounded academic analysis on these overall concepts.

I've taken a break from this series and recently picked up "Satan Wants You: The Cult of Devil Worship in America", a much lighter read, of which I am about half way through. This is another I would recommend if you are casually interested topics such as The Church of Satan and the satanic ritual abuse "panic" of the 80's and 90's.

The last thing I read is Jack London's Tales of the North. A collection that includes White Fang, The Sea-Wolf, The Call of the Wild, Cruise of the Dazzler and 15 short stories. (I skipped some and read some when it came to the short stories.) For anyone who intends to read these I definitely recommend reading The Call of the Wild before White Fang. The Call of the Wild is good but if you read White Fang first you end up kind of blinded to how good it really is because White Fang is slightly more amazing in my opinion.
