Yes, I’ve seen everything that Miyazaki have directed, except the Sherlock Hounds episodes (but I have seen one episode that he did not direct) and the two Lupin 3th episodes.
“On”-topic: I still haven’t finished “Let the Right One In” nor “Battle Royal”
Yes, my sister and I used to watch that all the time when we were younger! Wow, I must have been about 6! I do like it
I just finished “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe, for school. It’s a great book, but a lot of times it seems that having to follow school guidelines and constantly answering questions lowers the experience…
I’m reading Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. Although it’s not the best book I’ve ever read, its still quite good (I haven’t been reading it for a while though), if dense.
I just finished “jorden skal gråte” [the earth shall weep]
It is a brilliant book. It’s the story of USA seen from the native americans point of view. The book changed my view on american history. And on the US as nation.
A MUST to read. It might be a little bit heavy though.
I’m going out to get “At Swim Two Birds” sometime, hopefully soon.
I heard about it after reading “The Third Policeman” (one of my favorite books ) by the same author, because Desmond was reading it in Lost…
Finished Murder in Mesopotamia and The Mirror Crack’d by Agatha Christie. The former was good, but the latter… excellent story telling all around! I highly recommend The Mirror Crack’d to mystery lovers.
Currently reading:
Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Thief by Maurice Leblanc Raffles: The Amateur Cracksman by E. W. Hornung Perfect Crimes and Impossible Mysteries which is a collection of “impossible crimes”.
Sean — Arsène Lupin is awesome! Really good choice for a read. Hilarious!
I myself am reading Jorge Amado’s Capitães da Areia (my favourite book ever), Th Adorno’s Negative Dialectics, Wolfgang Kayser’s literary analysis manual, and a pile the height of a palm worth of assignment reads for both universities, which range from ethics and anthropology to Goethe’s poetry.
Arsene Lupin IS amazing. I’m sad that more books aren’t easily available in bookstores in the US… I like the good combination of light-heartedness and… well… crime. I’m just sad the book eventually ends…
I have finished “Let the right one in” (it will be able in UK in August) by John Ajvide Lindqvist and is now reading his 2.th book: “Hanteringen av odöda”(“Handling of the undead” or someting like that.) “Håntering av de udøde” in my Norwegian version.
Reading “Destination: Void” by Frank Herbert. It’s an e-book though… so it takes getting used to for me. I like old fashioned paper. Anyway, I’m glad I have it since I’m finally getting a chacne to finish the voidShip series.
Will be reading “The Ascension Factor” by same author after this.
