I just started reading Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden. I've seen the movie 11 or 12 times so I figured it's time to read the book. So far it's really good, but basically the exact same as the movie.
I feel silly for this eureka moment I just had. I can't stand reading books on my computer screen and I don't have any money to spend on them right now so I haven't really read any in a long time. Then it hit me. Libraries exist! I'm ecstatic. Going to one tomorrow.
I recently finished Denis Lehane's "Shutter Island"! It's just perfect! I suggest for it! I am reading Stephen King's "The Talisman" now. It's not as interesting as the King's rest of.

Enslave my mind...
Recently read:
- Thinking fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman (best book I have read in a while)
- Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius by Sylvia Nasar (good, but ends strangly by quickly going over Friedman and Sen in the end).
- Keynes by Skidelsky (the way a biography should be written)
Currently reading:
- Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises by Kindleberger and Aliber (very hard to read at times, needs some serious editing and rewriting)
Up next:
-Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein
-Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World by Liaquat Ahamed
-Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World by Margaret MacMillan
Dolores Claiborne - Stephen King
Different style of storytelling since it is a first-person narrative without chapters and stuff.
UGH nothing![]()
i really need to pick up a book though! I need to find time.
I'm catching the dumb.![]()
all in all it's not so bad♥
I'm reading The Flame Alphabet by Ben Marcus. Not liking it much so far. The main character is a rather unlikeable, bumbling guy. But I'm plodding forward, because I'm stubborn and because it's the book club read this month.
Finished The Marriage Plot by Jeffrey Eugenides. I was a bit disappointed as his other two were amazing. But it was stilll good enough.
I'm now reading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Marakumi and really like it so far.
I wanna see movies of my dreams
I'm after Master and Margarita, and now I'm watching its screening, russian miniseries, kinda like I was reading it again, it's so beautifully accurate.
Halfway through Game of Thrones. Castles and shit, fuck yeah!
