>Ghost and the Japanese: Cultural Experience in Japanese Death Legends; Kwaidan; Stories and Studies of Strange Things; The Ways of Paradox and Other Essays.
The first two books are similar, but the former has a more theoretical approach and starts with a rather long introduction Japanese culture and study of legends, nearly half of the book is devoted to this, leaving the third and last chapter devoted to short stories and commentaries.
Kwaidan is just a collection of old japanese legends. Very good so far.
TWoP is a collection of Quine's essays. I had to read Posits and Reality for a class, so I decided to keep reading the other essays. I've liked everything I read, although I don't agree completely with some of his points. Interestingly enough, the second essay, On a Supposed Antinomy, has a "solution" to the unexpected hanging paradox which I don't find very convincing.

as i lay dying and homage to catalonia
i like faulker's prose although it can be hard to follow sometimes
catalonia is interesting overall. right now orwell's mostly talking about battle, but i prefer hearing about the political aspects of the war.

Currently reading my first Jane Austen book, and I can't believe I was spooked into believing it was a novel for girls. This book is hilarious, and I plan on reading everything by her in the near future.
i have such a us-centric view of the world until i come to threads like this and see how many foreign people frequent this site.

East of Eden: I'm around 300 pages in and curious about where all of this background is leading up to. The downside is the length of the book, it has taken a little dedication.

Looking for Jake and other stories, an anthology by China Mieville. I've only just started but I enjoyed Perdido Street Station even though the world building got a bit mastubatory, hoping to post about him on lit when I'm done with more of his stuff
