I finished Mr. Ernest Hemingway’s ‘The Old Man and The Sea’. At first I was ready to tear my hair out because of the slow pace, but in the end it was all worth it.

I’m currently sending my complete manuscript out to literary agents (printing the whole thing manually is.very.tiring). I’ve a bunch of books to finish reading, and a whole lot more should be arriving this week from Amazon or Half.com. I’ve gotten both very good books and not so very good books, so that I can learn from both sides.

On the list are George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ and ‘1984′, along with William Faulkner’s ‘The Sound and The Fury’, which I suspect I’m going to enjoy very much. I think I also ordered ‘Catcher in the Rye’. Those would belong in the very good books cateogory :).
