1984 by George Orwell.
I read it years ago, and it's every bit as depressing, frightening and brilliant as I remember it. Maybe more so. The concepts of Doublespeak, Thought Police, and of course "Big Brother is Watching You" have stuck with me over the years, but I had completely forgotten about Two Minutes Hate and Facecrime. Damn, just damn.

I just finished The Girl on the Train. I liked this authors style of writing and can't wait to read more by her.
Next I'm starting a lesbian book by Lynn Ames called All That Lies Within. This book was awarded the Ann Bannon Popular Choice Award and an lammy award finalist! |

As an aside, one will view that whole Christopher Columbus was such a great adventurer thingy as a true, cruel farce.

Just finished "The Rosie Project" by Graeme Simsion. Loved it so much I grabbed the sequel, "The Rosie Effect," but it's sadly just not as good. Not bad, but not as fun or original as the first...

Last week I finished reading a book I utterly loved.
Its called Carol and its by Patricia Highsmith This is basically a story about 2 women who fall in love. But the era they live in poses some difficulties. You may find it a bit slow going to begin with, but please stick with it. If your a romantic at heart it will have you hooked when things start to form. Please take a chance on this book. |

I'm still picking up and attempting to finish The Hour I First Believed, if simply because Wally Lamb is one of my favorite authors. However, this book has so far thrown a big wet blanket of doom on even the best of moods. I certainly hope there is something redeeming further in the pages. Read with caution and a Disney Movie nearby for the after effects.

March is almost here and I can hardly wait to read Erik Larsson's latest book, "Dead Wake."
Like most all of his previous non-fiction accounts of history, the story about the sinking of USS Lusitania looks very promising, in expanding other facts of little-to-widely known historical facets, which i imagine will be a welcome breath of fresh air. Two to three weeks and counting! Can hardly wait. Seems like it has been ages since I had any decent reading material.

this semester I have English again (comp 2) and so my recreational reading has come to a small halt. However, I am looking for a new potential series. My current author that i'm fixated on (I've read all her books) doesn't come out with the next book in he series until august.... AUGUST!!!!! ugghhh..
I'm thinking I may hit up the Patricia Cornwell section of my home library. Scarpetta Novels, here I come!

The King Must Die by Mary Renault
I read all her historical fiction years ago, but one advantage of getting old is you forget what you read long and can read all the good stuff again. It's set in Ancient Greece. Male homosexuality is presented in a non-judgemental light. Renault was, in fact, a lesbian. She got some shit for not being all rah rah about "gay liberation." And the goddesses and matriarchal societies are not depicted in a flattering light. But I don't care. I love ancient Greece, and these are so good. Some gay men of my generation and older used to talk about these books as the first things they ever read in which gay relationships weren't tragic or pathologized. Anyway, I like them.
