just read saramago's [I]death, with interruptions[I] - smart, funny and complex (imagine suddenly no one dying anymore - not staying young so much as just not dying - complicated stuff)

also finished philip roth's exit ghost - great book if you like roth

am in the middle of number 9 dream by david mitchell - cool, surreal and trippy

not much horror lately - last horror novel i read was a disappointment (badly written and cliched - i find it hard to get into novels that are poorly written)

Blindness, by Jose Saramago – I know this won a Nobel prize and all, but gosh is it boring and clunky. I assume some of the clunkiness is down to the translation and expect it will improve as the story picks up. Still, it seems an awkward, tedious book right now.

I couldn't get into this either. The whole book is like that because it is suppose to symbolize the blindness of the people involved. It has nothing to do with the translation.

I have been listening to the unabridged audio book "The Ruins" by Scott Smith. I'll check out the movie version afterwards.
