I finished The Host the other night. The ending wasn't quite what I expected... I wanted Wanda to live on inside of Ian for some reason, and that's how I thought it was going to turn out.

I love [I use the word in a more than sarcastic manner] is Meyers' ability to write events and their outcomes with the most luckiest of escapes. I mean, I know writers have to creat a situation, then get their characters out of them... but Meyers way of doing it... you gotta laugh at the *ease* of it all. "Here's a dangerous mission. Have fun, and see you in a couple of hours completely unscathed!". I suppose, what with the writers perogative though it's fine. I mean, a completely trusting society, no crime, no violence, no badness... what's truely wrong with that? Aside from the fact that most of humanity was wiped out to get there.

I think one of the reasons why I like this book as much as I do is that I'm also going through a bit of a Stargate SG-1 phase [again] and can relate the Souls to the Goa'uld...

Were the Souls really evil though? I mean, one of the philosophical dilemas of the books... the souls really weren't evil... they were just existing. Meh.

What to read next though? I have finals coming up, and can't decide which book I want to read as a 'reward' of sorts for finishing the acedemic year. Last year I had to finish reading 'Stranger in a Strange Land' before I could start my reward book (H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds).

I should get to bed. Speak... soon?

Reach out, touch infinity
Life is just a memory
Time is not the entity
Like it used to be

The Divine Conspiracy
Opens up the reality
Time is not the entity
Like it claims to be

We are wandering towards a blank infinity
And extinguishing will now be the only way
To diminish your sins
This vortex can't be filled up again
A hole in space and time...
