i havent read

and in the wake of war, we are left to rebuild the peices. valentines has come and gone, and my girlfriend wants me dead, you remember when i said i was a unromantic person? well she didnt believe me... her fault, but kind of mine that i forgot her present and card... and she got me all sorts of things like a bracelet (i quite like the Hawaiian bracelets) and socks..... i then had to go and when she wasnt looking sneak buy a lovely bracelet for 80 effin quid.... she then said "i saw you buy that" and took it then walked off in a strump.... shit.

well books again.
book of the week is.... catcher in the rye,
i havent actually readed it yet, getting round to it. i dont much go in for the mainstream books, classic or modern crap i know it sounds bad but theres very little about mainstream stuff that interests me, harry potter, twilight or "i-dunno-what-the-kids-read-these-days" so yea, catcher in the rye is a um book about um themes and um shit.....

okay people its nearing valentines day and theres a slight tinge  of romance in everything. im not a soppy person, public displays of affextion are nice but too much is just bordering on public pornography and indecencey. i cant say much as i know im a mad hypocrite about that, but i guess i know how people feel when the see there woman/man for the first time in weeks, yet i know that its silly and disguists other people i dont care.

so the book for today is another terry pratchett book, the light fantastic, the basicly sequel to the colour of magic, same main characters basicly and the Luggage. more outrlandish disc adventures. oh joy from rincewind,
the end sees crazyness... as usual
read it youl understand better.also the end of the disc is nigh

hi all. its been a few days since i last posted, feels more like a month.... again. this week has gone by at the pace of a turtle trapped in treacle and its uncool. i have finally finished fixing my cd albums. deleted every song off my laptop, then proceeded to add each album iindividually and get all the album artwork etc for syncing to my mp3 player. took some time but it kept mew busy, too busy in fact to have read anyhting or taken a comment on what to do my biased and badly written reviews on.
but, alas i  must have a paragraph of verbal diarrhea on a book of the week without consulting the gods of wikipedia. so here goes. umm,..... harry potter? no too mainstream. cathcer in the rye? hvent read it yet..... um O.o i know!!!!
twilight!!!!
you know themes? and how the books main theme is usually meaningfull. like in harry potter "your friends are your most important asset" or lord of the rings "good always wins"
twilights is "you MUST have a boyfriend." simply.

so there you go another reason to hate twilight :D

awright lads, today i have found the joys of my old sony walkman. not the tape player, im not that retro but my 8gb mp3 player, i lost it a while ago and have been without music ever since, so now iv decided to put EVERY CD I own on it, a feat that will take well over a week of copying, but it will be worth it i think.

il be going quickely over a book which, unfortunately, i have to read. the death of a salesman by arthur miller. an As level book for my coursework. its about an old salesman, Willy Loman, not highborn man, his name mewans average, showing that a tradgedy of a book can not only be written on kings and heros but on working class people. as they say, take pity on those the god ignore for their lives are fraught with hardship.
Willy is scraping a meager living of his job as a salesman and his ever increasing mental health issues, he constantly argues with his oldest son about how he cant get a decent job. yet in the past his son never argued with him and only ever looked up to him. something went wrong. Willy cheated on his wife on a work trip and his son caught him and in that moment lost all respect for him.
All of Willys problems stem from this one dillemma in his life, and in the end he feels he can no longer go on, and in a spurt of madness, believing that some health insurance could ste his family up for life, he kills himself. we never know if this payment goes through but it seems that it wont as in the past this had nearly happened and was declared self inflicted damage. so in the end a family loses its father and husband and are left with nothing.

this play, is a satirical, mocking look at the american dream ideal and how it drives people insane and people will alsways try to "get rich or die trying" unfortunately it is usually the latter that happens.

havent posted in a couple of days, thats because my laptop got formatted and i needed to redownloas evrything. and when i wasnt doing that i was partying like a madman. im sticking to switching between the morganville series and a couple other books, hopefully ones you want me to review or some jazz like that. at the moment the other books that im reading are the discorld series by terry pratchett, too many books to review in a year never mind one post, so we;'l start with the first one. the colour of magic, a great book, i love it,
The main character is an incompetent and cynical wizard named Rincewind. He involuntarily becomes a guide to the rich but naive tourist from the Agatean Empire, Twoflower. Forced to flee the city of Ankh-Morpork to escape a terrible fire, they begin on a journey across the Disc.

Unknown to them, their journey is controlled by the Gods playing a board game. Rincewind and Twoflower are controlled by the Lady, and is pitted agaist the champions of Zephyrus, the god of slight breezes, Fate and Offler the Crocodile God, in the game supervised by Blind Io.The duo face a mountain troll and are separated. The ignorant Twoflower ends up being led to the Temple of Bel-Shamharoth, and Rincewind ends up in a tree-nymph inhabited tree. Rincewind manages to escape while the tree-nymphs try to kill him and is reunited with the tourist. Together with Hrun the Barbarian, they escape from the Temple of Bel-Shamharoth the Soul Eater, which collapses. Later, Hrun agrees to travel with and protect Twoflower and Rincewind in exchange for Heroic pictures of him from Twoflower's magical picture box.

They visit Wyrmberg, an upside-down mountain which is home to dragons that only exist in the imagination. The names of the dragons' riders feature punctuation in the middle, making reference and parody of the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffery. They nearly go over the waterfall on the edge of the Disc, only to be rescued and taken to the country of Krull, a city perched on the very edge of the Discworld inhabited by hydrophobic wizards. The Krullians wish to discover the gender of Great A'Tuin, the giant turtle which carries the Discworld through space, so they have built a space capsule to launch over the Edge. They intend on sacrificing Rincewind and Twoflower to get Fate to smile on the voyage. Instead, Rincewind, Twoflower and Tethis the water troll hijack the capsule in an attempt to escape and are launched off the Disc themselves.
 thats the wiki plot summary for those who havent read it yet. its filled with wit and satirical ponderings on social life in cities and tourism. also rincewind is by far the most futile wizzard ever.

hellooooo boys. alright maths test over, im getting stuck into A-level coursework on the tempest, on of the few books i really dont like. but aswell as that, im re-reading the dark tower trilogy by steven king, awesome series, awesome author. however i dont much like the excessive mystery of rolands background untill later on in the series. it is in fact the only criticism of the dark tower series. every other thing is laid out perfectly, execpt the ending, I have to read thingsd through to the end, even if i don't want to, the ending, was a slight letdown, possibly because it was all over, or just because it wasnt the epic that i had imagined. but it is not the destination thats the important its arriving in style

continuing from last post, im still watching skins yes. it is awesome, yes. and i wish,  agains everything that i could go make an in detail blog on skins, but this is a book thread. and also continuing from last time, i am continuing with my review of the 1st of the morganville series. because i love these books i will do an indepth 10post or so review of them :) not tonight though, as i have a maths test. funfun
