I’m still reading…

The Plot Against America. I hate it. So boring.

I’ve been lax

February 16, 2006

It’s been over a month since I posted. And this isn’t much of a post anyway. Hopefully, I’ll get back into it soon. I’m pretty sure some interesting stuff has happened since I last posted (both personal and in the world). I haven’t, however, really read much. I’m still reading The Plot Against America because I don’t like it very much and it’s therefore taking me forever. I’m amazed that Philip Roth is such a popular author. I feel like he’s blabbing on about nothing most of the time and, even though I’m over halfway through, I can’t figure out if the book has a plot, if it’s “character driven,” or… well, I just can’t see the point of the book unless the whole purpose was to describe what his childhood neighborhood looked like and realized he had to put it in a nicer package or nobody would buy it.

I watched the remake of the Haunting (based on the book The Haunting of Hill House) last night. It was a generic stupid horror movie (notwithstanding the billing as a more intelligent horror movie), but I liked it. If for no other reason than because it takes place in Hill House, which was the name of my freshman dorm.

Enough rambling for today, perhaps a more coherent post soon.
