American Gods and then last night The DaVinci Code have both succeeded in keeping me hideously distracted from doing anything. It's been a long time since I've read books that damn good. DaVinci was very very good, though I don't know how they're going to make it a movie w/out doing to it what they're doing to His Dark Materials - that is, taking out all referencees or allusions to god that might not agree with the over zealous portions of our society. The problem with both books is that by doing that you essentially take out the entire story, so I guess we'll see. I highly reccommend all the books previously mentioned (His Dark Materials is actually a trilogy - The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass.

In other news, it seems next week I will only be working to six. Another coworker will be working 11-8, and I'll cover his morning duties (yay! I get to be a runner!).

So tired. I'm not sorry I stayed up all night reading the book, but I probably shouldn't resume making it a regular habit.

Provided I get the chance this weekend, you guys should have a decent amount of stuff to read. I'm thisclose to finishing several things, the only reason they're not done is that lately I've had the attention span of a gnat with ADD buzzed on caffeine.

I was awake until 4:00 AM.

:)

Good books deserve to be read all night... at least it was a Thursday night. I think the last book I stayed up all night to read was, "She's Come Undone" and then before that it was "The Story of Zahra."

How was DaVinci Code? My mom hated it...

I loved it. I mean you can see where stuff has been hyped up to make a good story, but it does succeed in making it a worthy read so eh.

And it's right up your alley, so to speak, insofar as women's studies are concerned. It was rather interesting in regards to goddess worship and whatnot. You should read it - if nothing else you can give me a tirade on how much he butchered stuff.

Hmm... what exactly -is- The DaVinci Code? I've been told I must read it, by quite a few people.

Ooh, and have you read The Agony and the Ecstasy? <3!
