I'm a culture junkie who works at a bookstore. Pop, high-brow, junk -- it's all good. I try and consume it all.
I read tons, especially young adult fiction. I also love quirky, offbeat novels; cultural analysis; mythology; girly fiction; fantasy; screwball romantic comedies; books with extremely flawed characters, yet somehow you really empathize with them; nonlinear narratives and language play.

Heart-Shaped Box: A Novel
I actually started reading this book before I realised it was written by Stephen King's son, so that wasn't a factor when I started reading this: I randomly picked it up from a promotion table in the store because I had recently heard the song by Nirvana. I was in the mood for a ghost story, so I gave it a go. It actually starts off rather creepy, scarier than a lot of stuff I have recently read. However, after creating this eerie atmosphere it loses a lot of steam, descending into a rather mediocre, rushed ending. Shame since it started off quite well.
