And i am currently reading: Good luck with House of Leaves. That had me up for over 72 hours after finishing it. That book is so creepy. I'm currently reading I'm on book 4 and I am really excited to finish it. Took me quite some time. And I'm not entirely sure what to read next. Might reread ![[image loading]](http://post.cloudfront.goodinc.com/EmbeddedImage/20299/org_atlas_shrugged.jpg) | ||

I've read the Chinese book no less than 20 times, and I absolutely love it. It's written in old Chinese (from Ming dynasty), and I adore its terse prose. I don't know how much of this can be conveyed through translation, maybe I should pick up a translated version and give it a try. | ||

Might reread Regarding House of Leaves, my gf recommended house of leaves to me, she thought while the book is extremely creepy its actually a series of romance stories at the end of the day, is that true? If so, how? Call me stupid, but i don't how love and horror can mix. also just finished 100 pages, really weird book...the fact that the text is slanted slightly off center on each page (probably intentional) is driving me crazy! text format of this book with strange font, color and location is fucking with my mind (probably intentional too) | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VWBiK.jpg) I liked "The Winter Market" the best, "The Gernsback Continuum" was great, and I probably would have enjoyed "Johnny Mnemonic" more if I hadn't seen the movie. I have Dune in my bag to read again next, but it is hard to read after finding out junior retconned the opening statement into being wrong. My actual recreational reading lately has been on x264 video encoding. =_= | ||
