Slowly starting to pick away at this. I've long liked Gopnik, but somehow I've managed to stay away from his books until now. The introductory piece was a little too dreamy for me, but once you get past that and into the political essays, you're golden.

I forgot all about the 50 book challenge and I kept starting books or just reading anthologies. Now I'm gonna get one just one book: Hoodtown by Christa Faust.

After a long break I'm finally back into reading this. It's so much fun 8D It's Kill Bill meets... Dragon Age.. or something like that. Fun, sassy, and action packed.

I've been intending on getting into Cormac McCarthy's stuff for at least four years, and I'm finally doing it now. It seems almost impossible for it to live up to all the hype, and yet it does.

At the moment I'm reading the novel The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I got it cheap in my local book shop and have to admit that I love it! It's very exciting although I already know the movie. I'm not sure yet if I will read another novel by him, but I will definitely keep this author in mind.

Goal: to read Morris's whole TR trilogy.

And so it begins.

It's pretty much impossible to come away from the prologue without thinking "Fuck yes this is going to be awesome, what was I even thinking when I read biographies about other historical figures and/or written by people who aren't Edmund Morris".
