I ordered this book House of Leaves yesterday, looks pretty interesting.

Apparently it's a book that does everything it can to fuck with your head.

I'm looking forward to it.
Step right up folks, and see the boy who claims he can't be hit by a rock!

House of Leaves is awesome. But it's not a light read. Gotta be able to sit yourself down and really give it some attention. I really should reread it.

I also recommend The Raw Shark Texts.
Holy cow, it's Mix! I thought she was dead or something.

The only reason I didn't finish it was because mt back couldn't handle carrying in back and forth to work (which is the only time I really get to read anymore).

So I was looking for THe Colour of out of space by HP Lovecraft at my local books store. They didn't even have Lovecraft on there computer at all.

How the fuck can a book store not carry a single lovecraft book?

Angus and Robertson

Also the more harry potter I read, the more I realise every single charecter is more intersting then Harry.

The Weasley family is awesome mainly just in reminding me of my own family. No one in particular just the big family that always has people laying about everywere kind of thing. Most of the teachers are great charecters, I love Neville, Ron and Hermonie are great. But my god.

Harry is a fucking tool.

I remember Harry getting more likable but I also remember him being a tremendous douche for the rest of the series.

He started off perfectly likeable, kind of a weedy underdog. But now he’s just a moody irritable tosser that snaps at the slightest provocation. The only saving grace is that everyone calls him on being a moody irritable tosser.

It also occurred to me that these kids never shower.

Ever.

The stories follow them from waking up to going on adventures to going to bed usually. They wake up, and head down to breakfast, there isn’t even a 10 minute gap or so that isn’t coverd in the books that could be shower time in the morning. They just don’t bath.

Magic makes it so they don't need to.

They said it on that page you skipped in the third book.
