Literature and stuff
Well today I was browsing a charity store when I saw something that made my face go all 0_0. Two novels that I have been searching for, often in failure, at the library were now right before my eyes.

One of the book's is "Sophie's World" by Richard Gehr, alias Jostein Gaarder. It's a tale of a normal Norwegian girl who's mind is invoked by mysterious letters in her mailbox, asking the questions, "Who are you?" and "Where does the world come from?". There is a lot of philosophy and symbolism hidden in the book, as well as much more. Unfortunatly I've only read the first two chapters, but I'm now very interested in it.

The other book that I found was Micael Crichton's "Jurassic Park" which I became interested in after learning that a substantial amount was ommited from the film.I also have read vewry little of this so cannot say much at present.

I also, after remembering a passive reccomendation from a friend, have begun to read MegaTokyo. And by "begun" I mean read all 696 strips within 3 days. I'm hooked now.The style since Fred "Piro" Gallagher's partner Rodney "Largo" Caston left was rather astounding. Not only did the animation begin to get better, as well as a few changes to the formatting of the strips, but the "gag-a-day" plot became much more driven towards character develpment, while still cracking jokes along the way.

Good God this was a long post.You must be bored now. QUOTE TIME!
