Log In

Tigers and Devils was the last book I read (reread, actually). Just for fun~

America & the Pill.

It was a class assignment.

Uh....I think it was the second book in the Kane Chronicles by Rick Riordan. "Throne of the Sun" or "Throne of Ra" or something like that.

After Dark by Haruka Murakami

>.> *Snicker* Ironic that the music and literary industries share products with the same name. (Referring to Agent Nights post and the song titled "After Dark" by Asian Kung-Fu Generation.)

Possibly not entirely a coincidence considering how Murakami uses music to shape the atmosphere of his novels. He does tend to favor jazz and classical music, but there is always the possibility XD

>.> After Dark is Enka (J-Pop), though.

...wait, is it enka or jpop? They're not the same thing and I've never heard of Asian Kung-Fu Generation doing enka o.O

Isn't enka that like...traditional sounding music? That seems very different than J-pop or any kind of pop music to me.

Enka is also used for a classification for more modern labels and can actually include jpop, though some jpop artists are surprised by this as well. However, it wouldn't be unusual for Haruka Murakami to use jpop music such as Asian Kung-Fu Generation as a tone setter in his novels considering he's a Japanese writer

I just finished Daughter of Hounds by Caitlin R. Kiernan. It wasn't bad, and I decided to check out some of her other work.

Ijust finished reading Bram Stokers Dracula for the hell of it this morning.

Mockingjay - agesssss ago. I'm working through Game of Thrones, noww, though.

Ilove the TV shows of Game of Thrones....I should add that to my read list.

It's a pretty good read. I would say that the TV show well captures the book (at least the first one - have not read or seen the second).

I just finished Caitlin Kiernan's The Red Tree. Altogether a better book than Daughter of Hounds.
