The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, by Rachel Joyce. A friend lent the book to me, and I'm enjoying it so far. A lighthearted read.

About Fifty Shades of Grey... I heard that was originally fan-fiction for some vampire crap?
Currently reading 'Survival in the Killing Fields' by Haing Ngor. A good book, but horrifying bits in there.

It still is: by and large, the only thing that changed between it being Twilight fanfic and a "real" book was the nouns. I think it's like eighty percent the same as the writer's previous free work.

Just one more reason to hate it, I say.

The Complete Maus by Art Spiegelman.

The first (and only as far as I'm aware) Pulitzer Prize Winning graphic novel.

It's very good.

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)

That is... I just don't know what to say. I love hating stuff like that!

Because I have the attention span of a fruit fly and need at least two unrelated books going at a time:

The Gods and Other Lectures (Robert Ingersoll)
Three Women in Dark Times: Edith Stein, Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil (Sylvie Courtine-Denamy)
Hitchcock (Francois Truffaut)

After these, I plan to gear up for Bloomsday (June 16) by delving back into some Joyce.
