Midnight Sun. It isn't finished, though, which depresses me, because stupid people had to leak it on to the internet, violate the authors rights and thus leading to depression for millions of fanpires. It sadens me even more because it is so good, way better than the female version of it, Twilight. Damn it...

I'm reading A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis by Sigmund Freud on my own terms because I really enjoy stuff like that.

I have never read an Ayn Rand book, and never plan to.
Why not? I thoroughly enjoyed The Fountainhead, but only because I can relate to Howark Roark. So much.

Guess I've just heard a lot about her being a really pretentious writer. Maybe I will, one day.

I think the last real book I read was Welcome to the N.H.K. Another light novel; much better than the manga, in my opinion. Right now, reading The Book of Joby and Watchmen.

She kinda is, I guess. I've never read any of her other books(but I want to read Atlas Shrugged) so I can't really say.

Right now I'm reading The Selling of the President 1968 because I love the 60's and advertising!

Advertising?

Anyway, I'm currently reading Motiba's Tatto's, it's a memoir slash compilation slash research paper novel thing. It's actually really interesting. The author's father worked on the Apollo missions, and he's an Indian immigrant, and she delves into the lives of her father's family in post slash pre-industrial India. Fascinating!

I just like advertising in general. I'm going into fashion photography, and of course there will be advertising in that.

I don't really know how to go into it, I just like advertising in general. The book I was reading about was selling the President(Nixon) on television. I think it's more of an old-fashioned advertising liking for me though.

Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I'm only in the beginning chapters, but it's really good so far.
