I mean yeah Magic Mountain is huge but you're reading Capital I don't' think size is a valid protest in light of that ~_~ Besides I loved it and I plan on reading it again at some point (the Woods translation instead of the old Lowe-Porter translation) It's even worse as i'm huge Proust fan. But not all 1000+pages book are born equal  Btw, i'm planning on rwiting a blog about it, but the 100th year anniversary of Swan's way is getting close <3 | ||

* Dracula by Bram Stoker (about half way through) * Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (only on chapter 3) * The Complete Works of HP Lovecraft (about half way through) * The Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov (about 1/5 the way through) I am going to read:
* Steven Kings Dark Tower series (heard it was good, and I liked King in middle school) * Edgar Allan Poe * Noctuary by Thomas Ligotti (was in a horror mood I guess) At the moment I'm pretty engaged with the Count of Monte Christo, and what I started first out of these (lovecraft), I have slowed down alot, as he has had a couple of really ranty stories in a row. | ||
