I'm rereading Now Is the Hour by Tom Spanbauer.  I'm writing a paper about Dangerous Writing.

rying to read crimes of love by marqui de sade.

I always liked The 120 Days of Sodom, or the School of Licentiousness (Les 120 journées de Sodome, ou l'École du libertinage, novel, 1785, pub. 1904) and Justine, or Good Conduct Well Chastised (Justine ou les Malheurs de la vertu, novel, 2nd version of Justine, 1788, pub. 1791)

They both read better in the French somehow.  Hey, its how I passed my grad school language requirement was by translating a chapter of each.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

Justine is so hard to find!  I've been searching for ages, but I can never find it, although I did find some short stories by him (in English, unfortunately, but I'll take what I can get; anyway, since apparantly de Sade is hard in English, he would probably be mind-boggling in French, especially for me who is only in French III).

YES IT IS!  It's my favorite Gaiman, I think.

sounds cool, I'll have to check it out! I've only read "Stardust" but looooved it  :)

I'm more or less switching between 3 at the moment-

"Bridging Science and Spirit" by Norman Friedman, about common elements in physics and spirituality
"Celandine" by Steve Augarde, 2nd of a trilogy about some fairy tribes in England. "The Various" is the first and the third isn't out yet
and
"Tithe: a modern faerie tale" by Holly Black, a dark sort of faerie story

I have a short attention span so I have to switch around lol

I started Beautiful Children by Charles Bock.  Seems good, but I don't think I'll have time to read it until after school is over...and I want to reread three Murakami novels: Norwegian Wood, Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, and Kafka on the Shore.  *sigh*  So many books to read and no time to read them...

Actually, I was referring to the lack of quality and literary value of the books.. I still like them for their soap-opera-like qualities..
That and.. well.. some of the characters are just sexy..
