BOOKS, BOOKS, AND MORE BOOKS

I think I've bored myself into reading too many (many can be relative - in my case probably more than 5 books per semester) classics. A tad too much of Golding and Wharton has made me crave for some lighthearted books. Preferably those with non-existent worlds and incredulous characters.

Landover Series Book 4: The Tangle BoxToday I spent most the day at Barnes & Noble specifically looking for the Landover Series. I had all five in my hand when I suddenly felt that $37.49 (plus tax) was quite a steep price to pay. Considering I could get them at a run-down second hand bookstore for lots cheaper. Even the guy who regularly sells his books in cardboard boxes at school might sell them for a buck a piece. DragonLance Chronicles #1: Dragons Of Autumn TwilightAnyway, being me, it was either I get the whole series or not get any at all. I was dying to have a series of books to read but I figured I'd wait a bit and get them online. Or from the guy who sells his books in cardboard boxes.

Anyhow, I simply had to get at least something from B&N since I was there. So a friend introduced me to some other Fantasy authors I should get instead. ChokeI almost got me the DragonLance Chronicles Trilogy (trilogies are good since they're cheaper than, say, a series with 5 books ~ duh!) but wasn't so sure if I should. So I put it back and spent the next few hours picking up other books and putting them back on their racks. Ho-hum...

I almost got Palahniuk's Invisible Monsters too since Choke was out of stock, but eventually put that back aswell. Anyway, I came back home empty handed (sobs) but I found some sites on fantasy and fantasy authors I kind of liked:

WHERE'S THE RUSH?

Hello!

I've 2 more weeks of slacking and enjoying the holidays and I've been taking an extensive break away from the computer. I've never felt so rested.

Anyway, I'm psyched about this coming semester (as always :p) and by some freak of nature I'm missing that sudden rush of adrenaline each time i desperately try to finish an assignment the night before hand-in. hmm.

Well, here's my tentative schedule for this Spring. Let's see how long these courses stay in my timetable...
