What are you Reading?

[Alison]

Read a selection of Poe's short stories. I'm not much of a short story fan, but I did really like these.

And now I am starting into Lunar Park by Bret Easton Ellis

My iphone game with a book app and the option to choose a free book from a limited selection of mostly classical literature.

I chose The Posessed by Dostoyevski. Since I don't really enjoy classical literature, and I have no intention of attempting to lord a cultured, 'I'm smarter than you because I read boring old books' attitude on others, I have very little motivation to read classical literature. Especially since most of it's boring, poorly written, and amateurish. (Yes, it might be a classic, but 200 years in the advancement of storytelling does allow modern story tellers to give more while using less, doesn't mean that all classics are bad, or all modern books are good.)

It's sort of like how if Alfred Hitchcock released a movie today, no one would find it suspenseful.

I'm trying to pick up on Niklas Luhmann's systems theory using an English translation, but this shit is dense. You essentially have to ignore that he's going back to a functionalist perspective to be alright with it.

Tomorrow I move past the intro and the first chapter.

I finally finished 1984 last week, and yesterday I started on A Clockwork Orange.

Because it's been 40 years since it came to cinema screens?

Because it's been 40 years since it came to cinema screens?

No because I have never read the book, but always wanted to.

I loved Clockwork Orange from first page, literally, translator made it perfect. I will never be able to read it in original I guess, but I barely regret. I've read that polish-russian version, but I know there's a polish-german too, just in case.

K.Kesey is a master of descriptions and bearable psychoanalysis, actually after reading "Sometimes a great notion" I feel like I saw a movie, I remember it like that.
