Huge stacks of veterinarian books, in fact all I could find in the library (Finnish)
The last vet book (series) I read I left unfinished. I remember extremely vividly one scene from there, though. Two girls had been cruel to a horse or something, and when the vet got his chance, he grabbed a whip and chased the two girls like a madman! Veterinarian gore. Ecstasy.

2007-02-08 [iippo]: Oooh, Equus! I'm going to go see it soon in a theatre :)

What did you think of Gabriel García Márquez's "Cien anos de soledad" (Hundred Years Of Solitude)?

2007-02-09 [Veltzeh]: Whoa, it's been a looong time... ;) It was very readable, though confusing at times, since it started with one huge flashback and all that stuff. Non-chronological storytelling tends to confuse me, heh. The listed book by Laura Esquivel is similar in style: magical realism.

2007-02-11 [Kiddalee]: Do you recommend Imajica by Clive Barker?

2007-02-11 [Veltzeh]: It depends what kind of stuff you like. It's somewhat travel-oriented and has a nice, fairly straightforward plot (I think) and for the most part, unoriginal but still interesting characters. Then there's the action part, where the main character experiences all kinds of new things and such... etc.

2007-02-11 [Kiddalee]: The word "Imajica" looks a bit like "Jamaica" scrambled.

2007-02-11 [Veltzeh]: I thought of "image" and "magic" first, then "imagination" and a general place name... X)

2007-02-14 [Kiddalee]: Yeah, I thought that, too, after I'd had a closer look so I wouldn't misread it as "Jamaica"
