It is very interesting, actually. A funny new way to look at scientific theories. :)

Rereading "Master and Margarita". That book is so hilarious and at the same time deep. Still makes me wonder what was author using since LSD wasnt invented back then, but something like that cant be thought up in sober mind. Phrase " Sole thing that can save mortally wounded cat, is sip of gasoline" is just epic by itself.

Not me. I'm insulted. Sir! I demand satisfaction! :D

Ah, yes - reading. I'm stuck with work books for a while, which is a shame, because I really want to move on to some other Norwegian classics.

Dammit, I hate it when you actually say something funny. Can't you just keep up your image as the village idiot? :devil:

Now that would be an achievement worthy of Sandy. ;)

I finished Ibsen's Brand, but I really wish I had some simpler literature at hand. Why did I have to get started on freakin' Ibsen?

He still had at least 5k posts left to get to my real postcount...

And read Dracula if you haven't... you should be able to find it for free on the internet as the copyright is expired.

Novels by Jurgis Savickis, a Lithuanian writer. We have to read it for school work, and I hate the way he writes... Basically it feels like he writes only every third sentence and every third word in said sentence, so one novel is actually a lot bigger that it looks. And understanding it becomes a whole lot more difficult...

It seems like I'll be supposed to read this next year... I'm reading Hamlet by W. Shakespeare. for school too.. It's interesting, but not very much.. And as there are many other things to do, I don't think I'll finish it soon. Well... It seems like I'll have to improvise during tests..

"International Marketing", terrible book. Also reading "Landing Page Optimization", better but with too few pictures :P

If it was any good they wouldn't be requiring you to read it for school.
