I'm a sucker for trashy romance novels... so I'm reading This Duchess of Mine. I usually do this in between really dark stuff just to kind of clear my head. LOL

Isn't it ridiculous??

The Fellowship Of The Ring, but watched The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy yesterday for the first time so I'm thinking about reading that instead.

Just finished Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" and I need to decide what to start next. In the meanwhile, I'm flipping through some poems by Emily Dickinson.

There's this book by Phillip Jose Farmer called "Dayworld" about these people who are put into suspended animation six days a week all their lives. The main character has multiple personalities I believe.

Stardust, Gaiman.

I'm rather irritated that I can't find my copy of Neverwhere.. I think it's at my father's house.
