Finished Reading: March 5, 2008

FINISHED. Now I can function properly, study for a math test tomorrow, write a conclusion for my paper, and sleep (hopefully) earlier. Loving Requiem for the Devil was like loving chocolate. It was impossible not to love. The book reminded me of Vamped — not because it was about vampires but because it gave me a very refreshing perspective that I didn’t really expect. Only better.

I’m Catholic but I never really gave much thought about Lucifer being Lucifer, the fallen angel, instead of Lucifer being Satan, the Prince of Darkness and snake plus countless of other evils he is identified him. Basically, in Requiem for the Devil, Lucifer is just Lucifer, Darkness Almighty, disguised as a human and plotting slash spawning evil on earth. But this Lucifer also does the unexpected. He falls in love. And that singular fact makes this novel far too hard to put down (i.e. I couldn’t concentrate on math so I had to finish this first before I tried to study).

(more…)

I know I shouldn’t be reading right now but I managed to get my hands on a copy of Requiem for the Devil by Jeri Smith-Ready and with just a few pages, I don’t want to stop yet. I have Math, Botany, English essays, and a paper to finish while I take the time reading books. Temptation. BAH.

I started reading Einstein’s Dreams yesterday (which I borrowed from a friend months ago. It was sadly lying down on my pile of books ignored until yesterday morning) though I’m most likely going to delay reading that to finish Requiem for the Devil. I really should have know better than to start reading something during a week I expect would be busy. I should finish most of my homework soon after dinner if I want to keep functioning properly.

I also plan on rereading Daughter of the Forest after those two books. I’ve been browsing the web yesterday for books that seems interesting to read but nothing really managed to get my interest (until tonight — which is an unfortunate case for me).

And yesterday, I managed to borrow a book with letters/essays/critique written in the 18th and 19th century. I don’t know what I was thinking when I created a Viscount as a character for my stories so now I’m determined to write more similarly to the 19th-century way of writing.

MUST KEEP IN MIND THAT I SHOULD STUDY.
