I'm about a quarter through I Am Sorry to Think I Have Raised a Timid Son by Kent Russell. My grandparents always give us books for Christmas and this one was mine. It's interesting. I really like the writing. Just finished a chapter in which four days are spent at an ICP 'Gathering'. Horrorcore is just so bizarre to me... Still have a long way to go with the book and that's exciting. Edit: Oh, and b_b, I finished Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki. I really enjoyed it. I was a bit sad that it was missing a lot of the magic-type elements of previous Murakami novels, but for the most part, the writing still got me!
It's definitely my favourite part of Christmas. Between my grandparents and the ludicrous amounts of bookstore gift cards I usually get (my family know me well), I end up with quite the haul. I haven't reached the snake venom section yet. I watched the first part of that video on the bus home from work. Watching the blood congeal like that: No shit. I actually just tried watching more of it then, but it gave me the heebie jeebies. I don't like snakes.I don't have a medical background. I have no fucking idea what it's doing to my body... You're not supposed to inject snake venom, you fool.
I'd be super surprised to get a book line that from either of my grandma's. The mention of an icp gather makes me interested, probably because I have shit to do with the culture outside of working with someone who had a hatchet man at every job I've had the past 5 years until 6 months ago. That and I've seen the documentary "American Jugallo". Want to see where a book that covers that goes.
