    Just finished The Metamorphosis by Kafka for my lit class.
    Twisted, but I actually liked it.

    Wizard and Glass..

    I'm re-reading the Stephen King Dark Tower series. I read through Wizard and Glass years ago when it came out, but stopped.. Can't wait to get to the later books for the first time!

    Yeah, one chapter left. It's brilliant. It's inspired me to want to travel around the Taklamakan desert and follow in the footsteps of these people.
    I'm gonna get another one of his books soon: 'Trespassers on the Roof of the World: The Secret Exploration of Tibet'

    I just finished a book about Kublai Khan. I'll be going to Mongolia next year - staying one night in Ulaanbaator. Would be good to get out into the grasslands but I won't have time.

    Still working my way through Zinn's "People's History of the US."

    In my defense, it's a very long book...

    Great book. Palahniuk is such a fantastic writer.

    Right now I'm reading "Great Expectations" for one of my English Prerequisites.
