John Irving - Last Night in Twisted River

Pretty typical John Irving but I like his sort of immersive narrative.

Reading a big stack o' plays right now.

A Murder of Crows - Mac Wellman
Language of Angels - Naomi Iizuka
Arcadia - Tom Stoppard
The Glass Menagerie - Tennessee Williams
The Little Foxes - Lillian Hellman
End Game - Samuel Beckett
Blue Window - Craig Lucas

Most of these are re-reads, but I'm trying to find something tasty to direct.

Pretty fun read. Varese seemed like a pretty damn cool guy. One of my favorite books I've been reading recently.

I've started reading A Clash of Kings, the second book in the Song og Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. My friend has just finished it and she tells me it's a great read. I'm really excited about reading fantasy again, I can't remember doing so in a very long time.

I read that a few years ago after wanting to check it out for ages (mostly because I was a big Cure fan growing up). Unfortunately, for a classic, it isn't very memorable.

It's really funny and I relate to it just a little too well.


Hmm...
