Always so very far behind in my reading... This week we're reading Buried Strangers, a Detective Fiction novel from Brazil. Interesting so far, but good god the corruption and politics that are involved in just the first 80 pages are amazing. I have no illusions about U.S. police, they're probably just as corrupt as everywhere else (if not more so), but it's so overt in the novel. They don't bother trying to hide the fact that they regularly take bribes, it's a trip. The protagonist in the novel willingly admits to the reader that he isn't above taking bribes, his only complaint is that he doesn't get as much as the guys who work white collar crimes.
Picked up Dead Space 3 today, now I just need the planets to align so that my friend and I are both able to play so we can co-op that shit. And months after picking it up I finally watched the Mass Effect anime. It was awesome. If you played part 3 you knew how it had to end, but it was still so sad.

The book sounds good. At least they're not hitting you with the classics. Some of those novels are godawful never ending pains in the ass. Just how they became classics is quite beyond me.

Don't get me started on Moby Dick, it's going everything going for it, high seas, adventure, a terrifying large sea mammal and bam! The most mind desiccatingly laborious piece of shit ever! I feel you're pain.
