I'm reading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison for summer reading in my AP English class. Not bad. A lot of monologue, but it's got a lot of good parts.

i'm reading Enduring love by Ian Mcewan. I saw the movie last year (loved it), and the book is just as good (probably equal, since the movie has Daniel Craig). A really unique style of writing too. Recommended.

Well did she make you cry? Make you break down?
Shatter your illusions of love?
And is it over now? Do you know how
To pick up the pieces and go home?

Reading Monument by Ian Graham atm. It's.. interesting. It's a fantasy novel, with the gimmick being that the "protagonist" is an arse. Ballas is an alcoholic, a thief, a thug, a womaniser, and the only way he knows to repay somebody saving his life is to steal from them.

Surprisingly, I was quite enjoying it. The descriptions are pretty good, some original stuff in there, and while I have no sympathy for Ballas at all and he makes me cringe on a frequent basis (vomit and thoughts of prostitutes every other sentence), it was still interesting and I wanted to know what happened.

But then there was this grim execution scene out of nowhere and it was like.. man I do not want to read this! And now I have very little desire to carry on reading because it made me feel ill (yeahh I'm pretty squeamish) and, while I want to find out the rest of the story, it isn't worth reading the nasty bits for. Shame!
