American Gods was a fun book. I liked Neverwhere better for some reason, but they're both really entertaining reads. Love when Shadow goes to that one real homey Midwestern town. Everything is so warm and comforting despite the crazy shit that goes down before and after. :3
Snow Country was usual Kawabata--lots of mood, little story. The climax used the term "Milky Way" like twelve times in eight sentences. Still beautiful though. Everyone describes his work as haikuic, and that's pretty accurate. I should reread some of his stuff. Feel like I'd appreciate it more the second time.
The Dying Animal by Philip Roth.

Bram Stoker's Dracula. Was curious about the origins of everyone's favourite vampire thanks to the Castlevania series, haah

I don't really like how Philip Roth writes. Everything was so subtle in the movie, but it's really in your face in the book. Then again maybe I'd dislike how everything was so subtle in the movie if I'd read the book first. Who knows. In any case, I didn't finish it, because everything the book had to say was already said in the movie. Usually that's not the case. Ah well.
The Journey to the East by Hermann Hesse. It's boss.
EDIT: And short. Good stuff. The Unknown Masterpiece by Balzac, or, as I like to call it, The Book I Bought Because There's a Giant Boob on the Cover.

Balzac is one of my favorite authors now.
Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. Wondering how they took this book and made it into a three-hour-long movie about excessively long shots of people staring at each other.

Benedict de Spinoza On the Improvement of the Understanding / The Ethics / Correspondence
A really damn good book.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell
Vampire (well, vampire-esque) history actually goes way, way farther back than that, but yeah, Dracula is the first actual novel about a vampire. And then we had Bela Lugosi and then Anne Rice and now we have Edward Cullen. ;_;

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. Hopefully I'm not annoyed by whatever attracts hipsters to Vonnegut.
Iron Angel, second book in the deepgate codex.
I also bought the first three books in one volume of the Landover series from Terry Brooks, which my wife stole from me to read.

Cat's Cradle was really pointed but I liked it. I read The Captain's Verses by Pablo Neruda and that was baller. Finished The Elephant Vanishes by Haruki Murakami and that was pimping. Almost finished A Personal Anthology by Jorge Luis Borges but all the philosophy and the lack of definite storytelling made me mad. Like the dude's smart as hell but it's a chore to read.
I Am a Cat by Natsume Soseki.

I Am a Cat is good but very slow. I'ma read it how it was intended, in little bursts once a month or so.
Miles from Nowhere by Nami Mun. I really dug the title and cover photo. It's simple but entertaining.
