My New Favorite Things



What I'm reading right now:


This is an amazing book. Its been on my bookshelf for some time now and I just neglected to pick it up. That is totally my fault. I love this book. Ian McEwan is without the greatest living writing of fiction. He understands the mind, how it works, how it doesnt. The writing isnt really to serve any purpose other than to flesh out his characters. When I read it I can just imagiene him thinking up a person and then the people that made the lead character they way they are. The plot that changes him or her.

His writing makes me want to be a better writer.


What I'm listening to:


A bunch of Columbia University student who got together in 2006 and formed a band. They have a really interesting sound. A strong indie album and a large afro-punk influence. If youre looking for smart lyrics and interesting hipster sounds then you should pick this up.
