All this talking about books reminds me, one of these days I'm going to learn how to read, and I'm going to tackle this bad boy.

This is unlikely but have any of you read "Story of the Stone" or "Dream of the Red Chamber?"

There are several translations for both the title and the book but it's a five volume Chinese novel by Cao Xuexin. I believe the best translation is by David Hawkes. DO NOT get the abridged version. The author didn't finish the fifth book so it's fun to speculate on what he really wanted the ending to be. He kept extensive notes.

Anyway, it's a great novel when looking at both plot standards and metaphor. It can be enjoyed on many levels. I read it for the first time after my father's colleague gave me the full set + several files full of literary analysis (which I'm not usually into but for this book, it's awesome) and I stayed up for several days reading it all. My roommates thought I was fucking insane.

~I think you need a new one.~

So I used to know this song by heart. And can remember when everyone on the Pre-Youtube days made Sims music videos to this song.

I like thrifting for books at the thrift stores. Sometimes I can find some pretty amazing deals on books, that I either wouldn't buy normally, or books that are just old, but in a good kind of way. It feels great to have a big bag of books that cost less than five bucks or so.

where i am, salvation army has a sale once a month called a "media sale" anything "media" is 20 for $1. i usually go and get video games/dvds/blurays/books

Yes, if you know anyone who's fluent in it, let me know.
