The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien - 8/10 Very well-written, detailed and sometimes disturbing, but great nonetheless. It gave me a new perspective on "war novels". Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison - 5/10 BORING AS FUCK and very Maya Angelou-esque, in that it tries much too hard to say "This is an important BLACK STATEMENT and you must LISTEN TO MY WORDS!" The chapters are also terribly long, drawn-out and dull, but the story is at least believable. |

At the moment I'm reading Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf and revisiting The Deathly Hallows by Rowling at the same time. I just finished One Hundred Years of Solitude by Garcia Marquez, truly one of the best books ever written. |

So true! And I've only read the first half (twice - I somehow always get disturbed by something and forget all about it). Watchmen by Alan Moore - 10/10 Seriously one of the best cartoons ever written/drawn. I love the idea of making superheroes more human and letting them deal with moral and personal issues. I'm looking forward to the movie. It looks as if they've changed NOTHING. |

I'm reading the 2nd of Trudi Canavan's Black Magician trilogy. Really good stuff! Previous to that was probably Niel Gaiman's American Gods. Fucking amazing so it was! And I couldn't get into another book for about 2 months after reading it because it seemed to blast this big hole in my brain! |

I'm reading The Master by Colm Toibin which is quite slow moving. It's very well written though. |

Mr Tickle - R. Hargreaves. 9/10 Brilliant plot, well paced, well written and stunning observational humour about a disabled man and his struggle to fit in with society. |

Watchmen 10/10 Currently reading Absolute Sandman volume 1. I've never really gotten into comic books, but a good friend in Canada insisted I read these and he was right. I loved Watchmen and Sandman is phenomenal. |

Absolutely. There is a chapter (4 I think) about how time passes for Dr. Manhattan using a photograph falling from his hand on Mars. I think it is BRILLIANTLY written. I went back and reread that chapter twice. |
