Understatement.


Started and finished the series when I was around 12 or 13. Was a block-headed little goober so I didn't really catch any of the supposedly obvious Christian allusion and metaphor in the books. (Yes, not even the Stone-table Aslan scene) But even I could realize that the author was spreading it thick by the Last Battle.


Liked the Calormene at the end though.

Especially when it makes such a terrible metaphor. You don't have to have faith when you have an oversized talking lion.

Currently reading "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and The Complete Works of Poe. Finished reading "The Good Earth" a while back too.

Reading some of Franz Kafka's stories.


Not really enjoying it though.

Reading "Tales From the Crypt" XD
Actually I'm trying to reread my Lemoni Snicket books (series of unfortunate events) cause since it's Christmass, I'm hoping I get the ones I don't have as presents, and if I do, I wanna start reading them straight away and if I haven't reread the first ones then I'll be like "what's she talking about?"

lol, I remember borrowing Misery from the school library.. twice. Never even got past the shinning X_X (it was a three book compilation and when you've got school assignments coming out the wazoo, two weeks are not enough to read all of them... heck two weeks aren't enough to even read one).

I kept telling myself I'd re-borrow them when I had time but... well, though I do now, I don't think I can considering I graduated in October X_X.

I wanna read Poe's stuff but I can never find it anywhere. There's a complete Poe drought in my city!~!
