on reading

ah so i'm posting again. i'm currently stuck on a thought on my blurty entry. so what do i do? i open a new tab and log onto livejournal. added a couple more friends. maybe i'll add more as they come.

for the past month, i've had this young adult novel sitting in my bag. lilly gave it to me to read. i started it the day she gave it to me. but this entire summer, i've not been the readingest of person. it's a shame as i had a stack of books ready to consume my summer break. i finally picked up lilly's book and finished it.

Freak the Mighty. the title is brilliant i think. it has power and presence. the story is good. the characters quite lovely. i enjoyed the read. there's a sequel. Max the Mighty. i'm not sure if it'll be as grand as Freak, but still, i'm kinda curious now.

since i finished Freak the Mighty, i started on The Alchemist. my friend (and conscience) lina told me last summer that i must read this book. so i bought it this past weekend along with volume 1 of Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. does anyone know why it's spelled like that with the particular upper and lowercases? it irks me, but who am i to question CLAMP. they did have a reason for spelling Chobitsu in hiragana with the 'tsu' in katakana. that was pretty cute. i guess i'll find out if there is a reason in due time.

since i'm on Tsubasa. it's odd seeing syaoran and sakura so skinny. i want to leap into the pages and feed the two of them. but i kinda like the story. i dont get fai quite yet. what's his story? kurogane(sp?) is...well, he bores me right now. but so does fai. good thing syaoran's our hero. i've grown extremely fond of him from CCS. and its nice to see more of him, in this strange alternate-world storyline. I am enjoying how CLAMP is taking all of their previous works and throwing them into a bowl and shaking them up good. its pretty much them making one helluva fanfic of their work. i also enjoy how it crossed storyarcs with xxxHolic. i really do enjoy that book. Yuko is loads of fun.

and i've finished and posted my blurty entry. so i believe i'll post this entry for consistency's sake.
