I finished Ian McEwan's Cement Garden today. It was good, yes, but um. I was expecting a whole different thing from the summary (I was hoping for 'yay family' interactions a la SPN, if I gotta be honest), and instead, it's a really, really twisted tale with a real gritty, dry atmosphere. The characters were well built, but I really wouldn't like to meet any of them, which is strange for me. Also, this features lots of incest, and while one can go and mess around with Wincest and whatever, it's completely different to see it this way, and it's actually kinda squicky (well, a lot.)

I finished The Sandman's 6th volume some days ago, and while it was good, it was pretty much the same as vol. 3 - loose stories. Ramadan, the last one, was gorgeous, though. But! I've already started vol. 7, and it's looking up to be awesome.

Also, um. I seem to be squeeing about SPN really late in the game, aren't I? I watched it on Friday, but I hadn't had a chance to squee about it.

( Supernatural 2x07 - The Usual Suspects )Well that was great. It felt like such a 'normal' episode, though, you know? Especially since all that we'd seen of this season had been affected a lot by Devil's Trap and IMToD. A break from the angst, I guess.
