The Region 2 U. K DVD of that movie was recommended to me by Amazon.com.uk. I didn’t buy the movie, nor have I seen it, but from its description it sounds like something that I might enjoy.Originally Posted by adgy-san

I just finished reading E. M Forster’s A Passage to India and I am halfway through J.R.R Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring. I am also going to start Yukio Mishima’s Confessions of a Mask and Yasunari Kawabata’s Snow Country soon. I am in a Japanese kind of mood.

I read A Passage To India in high school and didn't care a whole lot for it, but I remember almost nothing about it.I just finished reading E.

Let me know what you think of Confessions Of A Mask after you've read it. I've nearly bought that book a few times...

NO WAY. I didn't even know there WAS a book! I thought the movie was f***** outstanding. How does the book compare? On a scale of 1 to 10, seriously, where do you put it?
earlier i had posted that i started this. yesterday i finished it and i was very disappointed and bored with it. no offense to kanon fans but i found it very predictable and there were some elements to the story that did nothing to further the plot. the whole thing felt like a danielle steele book. in his defense though, the description of berlin and the people after the russians came was very good.
That's a difficult book to really like, and E.M. Forster is even one of my favorite authors. It's really just about highlighting cultural differences and how far out of whack things can get because of that. Actually, now that I think about it, that is probably a good book to read right now, as it relates to a lot going on in the world in terms of that particular theme.
Anyway, I just finished:
And I am just starting:
I finished reading the books from my last post and the following:
The Call of the Chutuluh and Other Stories-H.P Lovecraft
The Satanic Verses-Salman Rushdie
Queer- William S. Burroughs
My Last Sigh- Luis Bunuel
Do Androids Do Of Electric Sheep-Phillip K. Dick
I pretty much enjoyed all of them specially The Satanic Verses which was a surreali, complex, and awesome book in my opinion. My Last Sigh, which is filmaker Luis Bunuel’s autobiography was also really good since he talks about the surrealist movement, the Spanish Civil War, Salvador Dali, and so many other interesting bits.
I am currently juggling the following three books:
Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Paramo
Toni Morrison’s Sula
Chuck Palahniuk’s Lullaby
So, uh, yeah, that’s me.
