Books
Harrooo... I'm writing this in Windows Live Writer which is like, Microsoft's new WYSIWYG blog editor... it's pretty cool but I'm yet to see what the blog post will end up looking like, heh.
Anyway, I randomly went to Borders today, as I often do (I enjoy hanging around bookstores... sad, I know) and stumbled upon two decent books on sale, woohoo. I got DBC Pierre's "Vernon God Little" which won the Man Booker Prize in 2003 and Gunther Grass' "Crab Walk". Grass is a great author and I've always wanted to read his literature in German but never gotten around to it (it would take me some time with a German dictionary by hand to be able to fully appreciate it but I always think untranslated literature is soooo much more fulfilling than the translated kind).
Given that I'm still working my way through Noam Chomsky's "Failed States" (thanks uni, for filling my reading with Business Finance... ugh)... and I have a stack of other books to get through first, we'll see when I start reading this. Chomsky is fantastic though, love his work.
