Moving is Not Going Well

[mousapelli]

Mousapelli: I don't think you understand. My closet is like the size of a...um...
Swtjemz: a closet?
Mouse: YES!........wait. stfu.
Jemz: AHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

I'm not sure if i've mentioned this before, but I will be at the beach from this Sunday to next and it looks like i'll be without internet. Try not to kill yourselves with the pining, plz.

Recommend me some beach reading? Last year i read Foucault's Pendulum and really enjoyed it, that's the sort of intellect level we are going for here.

ETA:
Jemz: wanna threeway tabs?
Mouse: *curls into fetal position laughing*

tad williams' otherland series. nice long scifi/fantasy-ish four book set that is wonderful and thought provoking while still being a very enjoyable read. ^^b

Ah! have read it! i enjoyed it very much. although it was like a million billion pages and thus probably rather lengthy for a week at the beach XD

The beach! Eee! Have fuuun! <3 We shall miss you and pine horribly and... have fic ready upon your return. Hopefully. Provided my high school friends don't distract me with RPG until then.

I'm not sure I can make it an entire week without the internet D: D: D:

More books kinda sorta like Foucault's Pendulum:

- Carlos Zafon's Shadow of the Wind
- Iain Pears' An Instance of the Fingerpost
- Katherine Neville's The Eight
- Arturo Perez-Reverte's Club Dumas (I haven't read this one, but it's supposed to be good.)

And Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden books are good if you haven't already read them. (They're like Anita Blake, but without the suck.)

ooh, thank you! I will check these out during my border's run later this week.

I adore Harry Dresden (actually speaking of blake, i just bought danse macabre because i've been reading them so long i can't quite stop getting them even though they're TERRIBLE, but I can't work up the mindset to actually read it either.)

I can't believe you read Foucault's Pendulum at the beach! It took me weeks to get through (granted, I was mostly reading it on the bus/train and at work, but still) and I ended up skimming most of it. I've heard it's more enjoyable and more intelligible on the second or third read, but I'm going to wait a while to return to it...

well, since i'm just laying on the beach and no one is bugging me, i actually read better when i'm there and read junk when i am home. it sounds sort of backwards but it's true.

my mom just read the Time Traveler's Wife for her bookclub and i thought about you! She also read that book we kept almost buy with the naked guys on the cover, about the nudist commune or whatever. Her book club is kind of strange...

I'm kind of on a memoir kick, so if those are not the droids you are looking for ...See bottom of rec!

Oliver Sacks -- Uncle Tungsten
Genius:this is what it looks like from the inside.

Edward Said -- Out of Place
A hard read at times, but brilliant and brave, and a really interesting look at the tumult of cultural identity-building in an unstable colonial childhood.

Adam Gopnik -- Paris to the Moon
Essay collection spanning the first five (Parisian) years of his son's life. I like this for how it renders that feeling of estrangement-at-home with such clarity.

Jose Sarmago -- The Year of the Death of Ricardo Reis
Strange and allusive, challenging and alluring magical realism. I like how this one makes you read up on a whole lotta other things outside the book, too.

Okay, stopping now. Enjoy the sand!
