Finished Good Omens.

Now reading:


Haruki Murakami's After Dark

This is the second Murakami book I've read and I can see why he's so well-known.

Personally, I thought it was just OK, but kinda scattered. Good, not great. Still, some interesting anecdotes about some of my favorite movies and their creators.

I had to quit reading Reunion by Jeff Bennington because it was so poorly written.

I like it but I agree with another poster things are scattered. I'm starting to write horror screenplays so this book will serve as an inspiration to me.

Gave up Smolin. It's a physics book for laymen, but it's not written very well.

Now reading:


Zadie Smith's White Teeth (2000)
