Raven in Green again..

nothings changed the senates still corrupt & the emporer remains insane, and every day, is a new strain of slaughter, supply lines are less protected, evil on all sides, eye can smell the death on your flesh--creeping in, trapped within the twisting fingers of fear, and all eye see is ewe, that face, those eyes, burning like leprosy, eye can see u there poisoning the air, prostituing Nationalism, and eye want to attack, to rip out your heart and lay you flat on your back, and vomit a world of agony and truth into your throbbing illness of memory...and hate guides our way, eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back, for the acceptance of death and blind cave war, the giving sleep of depression, the sweet elucidation of savage meaningless agression, chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples, in the harem tents--outside, just beyond the edges--eye ride, a cycoptic mare in the fires of imagination. feeding my disease, a river of plagues, eye need something to remind me I'm still sinning that pain is important, that wurdz matter, that healing is possible, that eye am not alone ...in this --guard the houses--triple the watch,--Maidens, dig up your sorcery --sirens, sharpen your rocks..ewe will eat my pain again. whatever you need unite messiah ME

My current list of books I plan to read and the order in which I plan to read them is getting a bit lengthy. I think I actually need to make note of it so I don't forget.

The Return of the King (which I should be reading right now)

The Message of the Sphinx
Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval

Underworld Graham Hancock

Intensity Dean Koontz

Libra Don DeLillo

I keep buying books. Though most of which I've been buying with my perferred reader points. ...The last 3 are all relatively new. but I had to have Underworld in my collection. It's new GH!!! And the movie underworld put me in the mood for dark things, so that's when I bought the Dean Koontz. And then I saw Libra on a bargin books table and I loved the cover art and the story sounded cool so I got it thinking it was 5 bucks...it ended up being around 3. Oh and Becky bought a book by that same author that I want to read too! The last thing she and I need is more books but with both bought them stating that we need more books just incase we ever run out. that make sense to you? We're somewhat disappointed the nice built in bookselves in our place aren't in the living room. We really want to show off our books. And oddly enough between the 2 of use there's gonna be a signficant amount of repeats.

Oh, and none of these books are short either. The Sphinx one is 272. Underworld: 674 with alot of appendix. Intensity: 436, but I hear it reads fast. Libra 556.

Plus I would like to read the Return of the King before the movie comes out. And...I've been really itchin' to read the last Harry Potter again.

But why is it I just can't bring myself to sit down and read? I used to read right before I went to bed....but this past month I've been horrible about that. I've been just going straight to bed, either too tired to read, or it's just too late to start.

I think part of it is I know I need to read The Return of the King, but I think I'm subconcisely protesting the fact that the book didn't start with Sam and Frodo that I just can't seem to read it. ....though C indirectly told me that most of the book is Sam and Frodo ....so maybe if I get reading I get to them sooner than expected.
