  1. Currently reading If the Buddha Dated. Someone gave it to me so I'm reading it now. It's a good book to read.
  2. What's it about? I don't even know what genre I prefer, lol. I like them all. Historical, poetry, social issues, cop murder mysteries, suspense/thrillers, horror, fantasy, sci-fi... List goes on. I wonder if anyone ever heard of Piers Anthony? Fantasy genre. Love it. His books are so punny.
  3. I love Anne Rice's vampires. Well, vampires in general, mostly. Lol. My nickname in high school, as my former English teacher called me, was the brat princess, lol. She was the one who introduced me to Anne Rice. And yes, she has a special nickname too that I call her by: spawn of the devil. If you think those nicknames were spoken in privacy.... Nope, said out loud in class to each other. I still have her as a friend on Facebook, actually. Anyway, if you're wondering, the new book Anne Rice is writing that's bringing back Lestat is... Prince Lestat. Heart. I still remember the first line in The Vampire Lestat: If you haven't met me before, I want this to be love at first sight.. Ooh la la. Haha.
  4. I've heard of Wolf Gift, forgot what it's about. I should probably check that out. There is actually one book of hers that I couldn't get into it. Maybe it's because I was 14 when I read it and couldn't connect. Hm. I forgot the name of it, but it was about an opera singer?
  5. Was on facebook, noticed its... Whatever weird facebook thing it is and it said Anne Rice is bringing back Lestat in a new book. I'm seriously gonna fangirl. Truth: in high school, I actually wrote Anne Rice a fan e-mail... And she answered! Still kept it, saved endearingly in a folder. Lol.
  6. A friend said this music store was really famous so maybe that's why it also carries other odd stuff. Not complaining. They had another book there, not gonna mention the name because it's kinda corny, that I had to buy because it... Spoke to me. Haha. It's a funny book though.
  7. Posting on this again, hm. Starting up a new book tonight: The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis. I picked this one up at a music store. Yeah, went in a music store and walked straight to the books, that's how I roll. Always to the books.
  8. I've been reading more poetry, and for some reason I think I'd love the idea of someone reading poetry to me in another language. Instant melt. I need to get this chick thing out of my system, maybe I should change genre to a boy type of genre like horror instead of reading romantic poetry. I'm digging myself into a hole, aren't I? Seriously though: I have gone marking the atlas of your body / with crosses of fire. / My mouth went accross: a spider, trying to hide. / In you, behind you, timid, driven by thirst.
  9. Geez. I just up and went to the book store for this book of love poems. Pablo Neruda. I heard that name around but never paid any mind until I saw an excerpt of his poem. Instant crash into love.
  10. Reading Beyond Good & Evil by Nietzsche. I don't know why I'm reading this, but it seems interesting. God, I feel so drained that I don't read that much books anymore. College killed me. Trying to get back into my bookworm self though.
  11. Lemme see if this link works: link removed I got it at a random artist fair that showed up a street from my apartment. I also got a necklace there, and its metal was from dismantled, recycled bombs. Part of its profit goes towards the cause. It's cool. The pic was taken right after the inking was done. It's brown now, the stain is set in, not blackish brown and looks like ink on skin like the pic. Still looks awesome. Shows sign of fading now that it's like 10 days past and I had to wash my hands at work (it's food-orientated) and couldn't put oil before I put my hand in water as the lady said I should. Oil before water, pat instead of scrub was her instruction after the initial care.
  12. I currently have one on my hand, lol. Got it last week, still looks good. I'll post a picture when I'm not in school. Lady said it cost 25 (though a friend said it normally costs 40 at Venice beach; she was a professional still), and I told her I had a budget of 10-15 so she did one for 15 for the design I wanted. Less elaborate, she said, to match $15, but it still looks amazing.
  13. Added to my list! Thanks. It's partly for research and partly for myself.
