Book Update

I got impatient waiting for my Amazon.ca order. I always have to have something to read or else I start to get withdrawal. So today I stopped in Chapters before my Fantasia movie and picked up Dark Water, which is a collection of short stories from Koji Suzuki (only one of the short stories was made into the movie). I also picked up a Franz Kafka anthology, Metamorphosis and other stories entirely because of The Daily WTF (and the fact that it was $2.25).
Yeah! Kafka has some crazy stories. Metamorphosis in particular is so random!
Oh, and if you’re still interested in fantasy, I suggest American Gods by Neil Gaiman. And if you want a good series of short stories, try Roma Eterna by Robert Silverberg.
You liked American Gods? I’m about halfway through it and find it so boring. I haven’t touched it in nearly a month I think.
I have a picture of Kafka’s statue in Prague in my Flickr account somewhere… I could tell you if Flickr wasn’t down at the moment…
