so today i actually bought a real book from a real store. i’ve come a long way baby. it was required reading for this south-east asian history class i’m taking (of which there aren’t any hot south-east asian girls? wtf?! at least it’s not as bad as the time i took a class called “women and their bodies” and it was a bunch of fat, men-hating dikes). anyway, i bought it at about 10a and finished the 200pg book by 4p and i even worked a few hours inbetween chapters. “the quiet american” by graham greene is about 1950’s vietnam under french colonial rule and a love triangle between a vietnamese woman and a british and american journalist living there. it wasn’t as easy to read as all of those dan brown books i’ve been going through but it flowed easily enough. the interactions between the vietnamese woman and the white guys were particularly interesting to me because i saw lots of similarities in interactions with girls in my life. i also come to find that they made a movie in 2002 by the same name that starred brenden fraiser and michael cane… i’ll have to rent, er, download it ;)
