WHY. SO.
PSYCHED!!!
No, seriously, I'm mega psyched about watching The Dark Knight. OMFG SHARLEEENEEEEE I THINK I CAN GO INSANEEEEEE.
Why so fanatic?
Moving on, finished reading 5 books in 2 days. That's how bored I am cooped up at home. I really need to land a job soon but my mum's too selective about the jobs I wouldn't mind taking up and to be frank, I'm not too thrilled about the process of job hunting either. UGHH JOBS. SO ANNOYING.
I digress. So anyway, some of the books I borrowed were particularly enjoying. They may not be Nobel Prize in Literature material, but they're good nonetheless.
Dante Valentine series by Lilith Saintcrow
Female necromancer / bounty hunter Dante Valentine is engaged by the Devil to find a demon who has escaped Hell with the Egg which, if broken, will unleash destruction and yada yada on Earth. She is assigned a familiar, who happens to be the Devil's right hand man, Japh. In their pursuit to find the escapee from Hell, there'll be romantic tensions between Valentine and her familiar, and while this isn't exactly the most original of plots, there's good action with a bit of mythology thrown in it and I have a bugging feeling that it'd make a decent summer blockbuster. If a movie adaptation is made out of it, fingers crossed Christian Bale gets the role of Japh, Rachel Weisz as Valentine (even though Weisz may be a little old for the role as a kickass tough bounty hunter) and David Bowie as the Prince of Hell. He rocks the androgynous look so he'd be well suited to play the Dark Prince.
Bowie singing one of my fave songs live. He's legendary.
Because Bowie was in Zoolander and besides, Lego's too cute to resist.
The Muse Aylum by David Czuchlewski
I know one shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but it was precisely because of its cover and title that I picked up this book. I'm a huge Muse fanatic, and so I just had to take the book and read the synopsis to see if it's any good. It's not just good, it's brilliant. The story features a reclusive author, Horace Jacob Little whose identity is a total enigma that even his literary agent communicates with him via post office. The story alternates between the viewpoints of two men: Jake Burnett (a reporter whose latest assignment for the paper is uncovering the identity of the author) and Andrew Wallace (who's a patient at an asylum for the artistically inclined). Both are fans of the author but the latter believes that there's a conspiracy regarding Little and that the author is out to get him. The journey of these two men to uncover the truth will lead to a most satisfying end and I think this would appeal greatly to Chuck Palahniuk fans. Definitely a book I'd keep in my personal library.
(Haha you so kental, you dunno about the hype surrounding Why So Serioussss, LOLOL)
Whoa, getting so engaged in book talk!
Can't wait for TDK with the girls!
