The Red Badge of Courage, Stephen Crane (1962)
The Hundred Secret Senses, Amy Tan (1997)

they should group books according to what kind of emotions they evoke rather than by authours. would make more sense, don't you think?

was trying to find a humourous book, or something silly to lighten my mood. lol. kept picking up serious, ponderous books that dealt with important issues of the human condition. is it too much to ask for a book with the words "tragic comedy" in the title to be at least funny? or at least, not the black and bitter variety? tragic comedy should be harmless, like watching a lovable clown slip and fall so u can laugh with him.

wait. need to express something here.

fuck.

there we go.

A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, a collection of short stories i think. have no idea what itx about. just picked it up because. only read the first story, "Open arms". very poignant. drew me in so was able to forget awhile, but why must it be so fucking sad? don't really need sad now u know.

lol.

me and my heartlessness. where did it all go to.
