Literary diharea
Lately, in a vain attempt to become more educated (and an attempt to chat up the Library Girl), I've been visiting the library more often that usual. I guess my habit of going there stems from my almost daily trek to Chapters when I lived in Victoria after school to read the newest books. Thanks to the flexibility of my job and my free time I've been reading a *lot* of books. Here's a list of what's next to my bed at the moment.

When Rabbit Howls
I started this book about a year ago but never found time to finish it. The novel is extremely high concept, and the best part is that it's based on a true story. When Rabbit Howls is about a woman called Trudy Chase, who, suffers from a multiple personality disorder because of the incestual relationship with her father. The book delves into Chase's life and how she re-discovered her past and how she deals with the acceptance of her father's abuse. What makes the book amazing is that it's writen from the POV of the Troops, her various personalities. Although often confusing with the POV changing from one persona to another, the book is an amazingly remarkable read. I suggest it to anyone.

the Invisibles: Say You Want a Revolution
Picked this book up from my trip to Edmonton. I've been a fan of Morrison's ever since I picked up Crawling From the Wreckage when I moved to Victoria. Like Doom Patrol, the Invisibles is a head fuck of the highest erotic order. Morrison takes thought food, puts it in your brain pan and makes it into stir fry. Cited as the inspiration for the Matrix, the Inivisbles is a novel about terrorists who want to make the world a better place and who are trying to prevent the forces of Eternal Control from taking over the world. Although the second half of Say You Want a Revolution is a tad more complex than the opening, the book overall is worth reading. I look forward to getting the whole collection so that I can experience psychich fever that many readers have describe when they reach the end.

Story
It's *the* book to read if you're interested in writing a screenplay. Picked it up on a whim last week, semi-inspired by the Robert McKee character in Adaptation. The book's pretty big and I've been skipping around a lot. There's not much in there that I haven't already learned in school, although it's nice to go into more detail than any of my classes could afford. A better book to own, as it's great for reference if you're looking to add polish to a script.
