30 Days of Books Meme - Day 8 & 9
Jul. 31st, 2010 03:02 amDay 8 - A book everyone should read at least once. I'm leery of saying anyone has to read a certain book. Everyone told me I had to read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and look how well that turned out.
Having said that, read House of Leaves. I can't explain why. No one can. Just... read it already. You have to.
Day 9 - Best scene ever. I can't pick just one. But one that has stayed with me in recent memory is the finale of Walter Miller Jr.'s A Canticle for Leibowitz. It involves nuclear holocaust, a dying Catholic priest, and a mutated woman with two heads. And it is one of the most moving, emotionally genuine scenes in a novel that I have read in a very long time.
( The prompts... )
In other news, anyone know what to do when your Facebook gets hacked and starts throwing up spam links on everyone's feeds?
