I just read Buried Child by Sam Shepard. Weird shit. I liked it, but felt really uneasy afterwards. Claustrophobic, even. Not a comfortable ending. I think I need to see it to get the full effect, though.

Re-reading Catcher in the Rye and Final Crisis #2 (Grant Morrison can be so obtuse).

I just started The Prefect by Alastair Reynolds. This novel is set in the Revelation Space universe, but before the melding plague has taken out the glitter belt. A prefect is a sort of local space cop, and this is apparently a rather space cop sort of book. It feels great to be back in this universe, which is interesting given all the rough things that happen to the people who actually live in it!

Chaucer's Canterbury Tales is surprisingly amazing. I've avoided it for absolutely aeons. I'd be surprised if I hadn't finished all of the 'utter prick staple books' litany by the time I'm 30. Happy times.

I had to read The Parson's Tale for 'O' level Eng Lit. It's still, to this day, the only thing I can quote to any great degree.
I just bought Defoe's Robinson Crusoe today. I'll think highly of myself once I've finished it. |

O-level? Surely you must mean A-level? There's no such qualification as O.

These are on my nightstand right now, even though I'm not reading them yet. They're re-reads anyway.
