We, The Infected

Lolita. The most sick and depraved waste of paper and ink I've ever finished reading. Edit: That sounds harsh, but I was feeling slightly nauseous after finishing it. I will say that it was gorgeously written, which in a way made it worse than it would have seemed otherwise. It seemed almost to dow...

My last book was Fingersmith by Sarah Waters: in Victorian England, a girl is hired to cheat another girl out of her inheritance, but ends up falling in love with her. Twisty, moving, and something of an unlikely LtROI similarity. Edit: It wasn't Fingersmith, that was next to last. It was The Golden...

Fifty pages into one of the most delightful novels I've ever encountered -- Nobody's Fool , by Richard Russo, 1993. :D Aren't we going to hear what's delightful about it? My last book was Neverwhere , a Neil Gaiman fantasy about a bored office worker who helps an injured girl and ends up dragged in...

Ah. It's true that the suicide scene is graphic.

Started watching 13 Reasons Why and only watched the first ten minutes before my four year old niece came and ask if I could play with her. :lol: I will try to watch the rest sometime next week and will post my thoughts. So far I like the beginning and want to know what happened. My older niece alr...

*****SPOILERS AHEAD***** I didn't like Hannah much. I didn't dislike her, but I doubt I would have been friends with her irl. She seemed to either overreact or shut down when things didn't go her way. I felt she was beginning to fall in love with Clay, or thought she was, but then she was very nast...

13 Reasons Why I'm part way through this ( Clay is just about to listen to his tape ). Curious fact: Clay is played by Dylan Minnette, who also played Kenny in Let Me In. . I'm open to hearing what you think! :) As for my last movie, I just saw The Eyes of my Mother on Netflix, in which an isolated...

To clarify the premise of 13 Reasons Why, a high school boy receives a box of tapes recorded by his friend before she killed herself, explaining why she made that decision. To summarize, it seemed to follow a formula to some degree, while observing nuance in morality and behavior. I have tried to av...
