I have been posting stupid stuff the past weeks so I think I should post something now that may not be smart but at least make me look less of a troglodyte.
After my Mom tuned into the evening news, I normally decide to just read in my room (I am gonna see all the Lozada stuff in the newspapers tomorrow, I don’t feel like seeing anything political). So I am catching again on my reading and today I was able to finally finish two! I have a lot of unfinished ones there.
It’s the graphic novel (I am on my way to completing My Sandman Library), Season of Mists and Hideyuki Kikuchi’s Vampire Hunter D: Tale of the Dead Town. Rebyu muna tayo ngayon.
Season of Mistsis volume 4 from Gaiman’s super-duper wonderful series (I am a fan, I am sorry). It grieves me I am unable to read all of them in order. We have my favorite antihero Morpheus who tries save his former love from hell (which he, himself, threw there after she rejected him). Turns out, Lucifer wants to retire and gives Morpheus the key the place and our reluctant protagonist accepts the key and wants to get rid of it. Morpheus meets Nada (the girl thrown to Hell) again, a really nice confrontation and a really nice ending of who receives the key. It has a lot of my favorite mythological characters, demons, faeries and other creatures on the side. It also has a part there with 2 kids making a really nice reflection on what Hell is. I just love the Sandman!
And Vampire Hunter Dis somewhat like a dystopian world where vampires abound and Hunters are out there to get them for a fee. D is not an ordinary hunter, he’s part-vampire. Reads well even if you haven’t read the previous volumes but I don’t find it that exciting. the English translation is beautiful, I am not sure though how much is lost in translation.
I still have Middlesex (still unfinished) there and I just started reading Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream that I borrowed from a friend. The last time I read something like this under my own volition would be in High School: Goethe’s Faust. It took me sometime before I got used to the prose, I think if you talk to me while reading it, I fear I speaketh in tongue far from modern fancy!
So many books to read, most of them boring.
grabe, ako wala ng mabasa. nagbabasa ako ng ebooks gamit phone ko, pero tinamad na ako kasi sumasakit mata ko sa liit at hirap basahin talaga. hehe
Di pa din ako makabili ng Sandman novel kahit isa. Ang mahal kasi! Hay. Tapos wala na ‘ko work.
sino merong The Halo: Ghost of Onyx? peram naman ako
Right after I saw him on Spike TV’s 2007 Scream Awards with all the coolest people in the print/movie industries such as OMFGQUENTINTARANTINO(!!!), I instantly became a fan and right there and then I scoured the Internet for some of his e-books. Oh, and I can’t wait for the “Coraline” flick. Neil Gaiman is LOVE! XD
buti ka nga nakakapagbasa ka pa on your own pace, ako wala ng oras…[puro microsoft university hay]. Gusto ko ng umpisahan basahin yung zsa zsa zaturnah, serial killers saka mga ebooks ng disc world…sana this weekend
yeah tarantino!:DD I was reading his scripts off the shelves of powerbooks and dude, tarantino is a GOD. Mahal kasi ng scripts niya. Fantastic films and books by T. And he didn’t even finish high school. Take that!
Neil Gaiman – read his book Good Omens. Hilarious shite about this serpent named Crowley. Harharhar. And the apocalypse.
I never touched nor seen Sandman before. Have you seen the film adaptation?

Tobey: yeah, tarantino is great… I haven’t read a book of his yet. But GOOD OMENS was hilarious at some points, not my favorite but it was a good one with Pratchett. The ending was great and the characters were goofy despite satirical, crowley is one of the most endearing devils out there.

I’ll check it out but it might just be some setting issue.
