White Noise

I just finished White Noise. It was a book I had to read for school so I didn't like it too much. It was supposed to be funny but I just found it weird. Like something was supposed to be so ridiculously outrageous that it was a joke but to me it just seemed  really weird. And then it talked about how nuns don't really believe in God, they just say they do so we all can feel better. I don't understand what the author's point was when he put this in, because its so obviously untrue so i don't think the idea was to get people believe this exact statement. Who knows though? Maybe he just wanted to be weird and creepy and guess what? He succeeded!

The Hunger Games Round 2

I decided to try it again. I finished and it was really easy to read, entertaining I suppose, but it wasn't good at all. It was just a bunch of action and, of course, everyone was obsessed with the main character and "she wasn't aware of it" even though its totally obvious and youre not being humble for not noticing it, youre being an idiot and youre making a bigger deal out of it by making people explain it. The writing was terrible. So I'm not going to read the other books but I will see the movie because I think it'll be a good movie because its a story for a movie. Simple as that. Books are for intellecutal prose and movies are, not always though, just for entertainment. And this was "entertaining."

Adios, yo

YES!

Finished Atlas Shrugged. 1168 pages read. Boom. Yeah so I read it and I loved it. I agree on many parts with Whittaker Chambers about Ayn Rand's flaws except on the Robin Hood part, I think she is right on that. But I don't see why Chambers hates her so much- she is right on almost everything. Maybe its the fact that shes an atheist that he doesn't like. Which brings me to my next point- I think that the reason i was disagreeing with her earlier is because I was getting Ayn Rand's spiritual and moral philosohpy mixed up with her political philosophy. Capitalism is the most loving and logical way a man can live.
Im just really glad I'm done.
Oh and P.S. I finished Snow Flower and the Secret Fan also. I'm about to watch the movie.

Peace
