now that all the entrance exams are over
Things I should've been reading after matriculation exams, and, consequently, getting out of high school:
-entrance exam book for medical school
-biology
Things I HAVE been reading after getting out of high school (+ one-sentence commentary!):
-The Epic of Gilgamesh: I feel like Finnish wasn't the optimal language in which to read this one.
-(unfinished) Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen: Hey, this is like the BBC series!
-Tales of the Earthsea (parts 1-4), by Ursula K. Le Guin: I shall need nothing anymore, for I have seen dragons dance in the twilight.
-The Dispossessed, by Ursula K. Le Guin: For two days after I finished reading, I had difficulty speaking of my room as MY room.
-Swordspoint, by Ellen Kushner: What charming homosexual domesticity.
-(Second reading of) Elfquest, by Wendy & Richard Pini: The first time around - how did I manage to miss most of the very in-your-face sexuality again?
-(unfinished) Xi You-Ji (Journey to the West), by Wú Chéng'ēn: Dated peasant humour that came with Monkey mostly made me irritated, but things are looking up with Tripitaka.
-House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski: --honey dearest I don't feel all that stable.
-The Vagina Monologues, by Eve Ensler: The part with the old lady reacquainting her long-lost vagina nearly made me cry.
-Elianto, by Stefano Benni: If only all long-winded description was this entertaining I'd be skipping dialogue instead.
-Empire of the Ants, by Bernard Werber: The way the separate storylines joined in the end was rather impressive.
-La Revolution Francaise (vol. 1), by Octave Aubry: Dear author, I have no patience for your royalism.
-Sex With Kings, by Eleanor Herman: Madame de Pompadour was rather kick-ass, and Nell Gwynn is my idol.
-(unfinished) A Game of Thrones, by George R. R. Martin: It's not my place to comment on a book after reading less than twenty pages. D:
