I finished From Hell by Alan Moore on the way back from New York. Creepy as hell, and really well written. I'm still convinced that Alan Moore can do no wrong. Currently reading The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac to familiarize myself with the Beatniks.

I just finished Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon. Funny, sexy, hilarious, messed up and deep all at the same time. Overall a very, very good read. I super highly recommend it.  

If you knew anything about the book before reading it you wouldn't expect there to be a lot of action.   Dav is Dav ^_^

I just finished Mass Effect: Revelation. It's a prequel to the game. It's a pretty good read. As good a read as video game novels can get, anyway. If you're not a fan of the game, you obviously won't like it. But, for those of you who are, it gives Lt. Anderson more background, and you get a view into Saren before he found (and, well, how he found) Sovereign. They tried to throw in a potential love story. It didn't...

Once the missionaries came onto the scene, things got slightly interesting, but overall, the book was terrible....

I had been reading Cold Fire by Dean Koontz for like the past month, I just couldn't get into it and I finally finished on Friday. It had a really abrupt ending that just ended everything in like 3 pages. I didn't care for the whole book that much, but the ending really cinched it.   I started A Simple Plan by Scott Smith Friday also. I had seen the movie, directed by Sam Raimi, a few years ago and really liked it so I thought...

Off the top of my head I would recommend either Intensity, The Watchers, or Twilight Eyes by Dean Koontz.

After Dark by Haruki Murakami I had heard that he was a very bizarre writer, but this was (for the most part) very straightforward. It reminded me of all of those cool movies I'd stumble upon watching IFC. ...moving on to Player Piano next.   HUZZAH!? Vote for Silent Hill 2 in The 2 nd Annual Tournament of Video Games.

D-Day by Martin Glibert   It's a very short book and it's really boring. I gotta finish it though so I can write a stupid paper.
