summer reading

--- Quote from: Jeans on 01 Jun 2010, 02:35 ---The film didn't mention anarchism once despite it being the central theme of the entire comic! Evey was a prostitute accidentally approaching a policeman, she wasn't going on a romantic date after curfew! And the roses were violet carsons, not ruby wedding! Basically Hollywood screwed it almost as badly as they did with Swamp Thing (which is another comic you should read, once you get a little more into it).

This is why I watched the movie first. I wanted to thoroughly enjoy the movie before I thoroughly enjoyed the comic. One way street there.

I'm going to (finally) read Huckleberry Finn this summer. And now you guys are making me think I should reread Maus, which would provide a nice contrast to all the silly superhero nonsense I have been into lately. And of course Blood Meridian has been sitting on my Reader for some time...
LTK:
Right now I'm going through Maus at a fast pace, and next I have another Terry Pratchett in the mail, as well as Mass Effect: Ascension. That should be interesting. I've also bought my dad For Crying Out Loud by Jeremy Clarkson for Father's day, so I'm likely to read that as well. Don't you like gifts of mutual enjoyment?
I'm also really loving Play.com, where I can get all these books for next to nothing, where they have sales every other day that are so massive you'll often have trouble finding a non-discounted article on the site.

I started to read Neuromancer, but I couldn't get into the dialogue style so I took it back to the library. Maybe I'll try again some other time, but I've got a stack of books waiting for me right now and I didn't want to finish it if I wasn't enjoying it. Yesterday I started Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I love it so far. I'll probably try to finish the series this summer. I'm waiting for Volumes 1 and 3 of Absolute Sandman from the library (I have 2 and 4 from there already) and when one of my friends comes back into town, I'll be borrowing Maus from her. I'm excited.

Gibson has some cool ideas but for the most part his prose kind of sucks.
