durendal Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Wow, those must be strong stuff. Could it be possible that it confused you and made you post your update in this topic about what you are reading instead of your thread that fits perfectly to what you just posted? It's good that your medication is helping you sleep at night, I hope it doesn't have any side effects. Stay healthy. Quote
*Chernaudi Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 Yeah, I though this was my blog area and I was in a rush to post. I don't know if it can be moved from here to there, but a mod or something can delete it. But as far as my reading, I haven't done too much reading or writing lately. I also haven't been to the library in a while, either. I'm just going though some books at home about history and such. I hope that sort of makes up for my mistaken post. Quote
Guest snow Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 wow, Chernaudi, what are you taking? Sounds pretty strong. Quote
*Chernaudi Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Celexia or whatever it's called. I just started Friday. It's not actually very strong stuff. I just was in a rush after getting up later than usual and being in a rush to get stuff done (wash dishes, help feed grandma, clean up the kitchen) before my parent's visit and I forgot I was reading this topic and though I had switched to my blog topic.

*Chernaudi Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I haven't read 50 Shades of Grey, but I've heard from Twilight fans who read it that it's essentially a revised version of E.L. James' Twilight fan fic work "Master of the Universe", and that she just changed up some elements of the story and Bella and Edward became Ana and Christian. I guess if you don't like Twilight, you won't like 50 Shades, and even if you like Twilight, you won't like 50 Shades, either. I'm not really into the BDSM stuff personally, and Twilight for me was a much better read. Quote
durendal Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 And you know what's odd, I have read both 50 shades of gray as well as the whole Twilight series. I even have the hard bound version. Anne Rice's vampire will still kick that Cullen's @$$ any time. It's not that I hated twilight, (well, I actually hated the second book) I just don't see it as a serious story. Something like a love story lite. 50 shades is not really all about BSDM. I don't know about the second and third book, but book one has some sort of "Vanilla sex". Granted Christian Gray has this peeve for S&M, he never really went full S & M on Ana, with the exception of that one time that Ana asked him how rough he can get. Oh my.... Quote
*Chernaudi Posted April 11, 2014 Posted April 11, 2014 I guess that my problem with 50 Shades is that Christian tried to minimize his romantic connections to Ana, and he just wanted sex. Bella and Edward was all about romance and putting off sex until they were really ready. I guess that I'm kinda idealistic when it comes to my tastes in fiction. Hell, Mizuki and Sho demonstrate that in Guyver, and both are kinda idealistic. Natsuki strikes me as being idealistic, and even Shizu seems to have some idealistic thinking going on in her head at times. I do read the fiction that I do as kinda an escape, but I don't think that 50 Shades would do that for me. Quote
*Chernaudi Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 One book I've really wanted to read has been Speak. I saw the Kristen Stewart movie based on it, and I've been sort of wanting to read the novel. From what I've heard, though, stuff that happens in the novel is worse than what happens in the movie as far as people being douchebags and assholes. But I'm still interested in getting a hold of the novel just to read it sometime. Quote
*Chernaudi Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 Found a couple of books last night at my house that I've added to my "must re-read" list. One in particular is an old automotive book called something along the lines of "Automobile Engines of Today and Tomorrow". It was published in 1972, and it was a book that I got when it was discarded from my school library. That'll be a book I'll be reading again soon. Quote
LordSpleach Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 I gave in and just started reading the A Song of Ice and Fire series. Quote

*Chernaudi Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I dug out that old engine book yesterday before I went to sleep. It may be over 40 years out of date, but still an interesting read. Quote
