Cant help having an image of Gareth from the office saying "Bloodbath"

Inspired by this thread (I haven't read a book in well over a year) I decided to pick up a book again last night. I've started to read "Different Seasons" by Stephen King. I've seen Shawshank on dvd, now time to read the book that it came from.

Cool, I'll definately get that, Helm is god. "Strip of meat on him like a horse" too apparently.

I'm currently half way through Dreamland Chronicles by David Darlington. This will be the 3rd time I've read it. It's basically a documentary-style read about him travelling through Nevada, researching Area 51. Interviewing all manner of weirdos, nut jobs etc etc who claim to "know things" haha.


EDIT: My above description didn't really do the book justice, but oh well

Albert Camus' "The Fall" and "The Outsider" for the second time. Great reads both of them.

Ploughing my way through heaps of plays for Uni but resting my brain in between with The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath and I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith. And flicking through Mega Tokyo and Yotsuba&! mangas.
