I just finished Heart of Darkness. Wow, what a dark and wild ride. I also rewatched Apocalypse Now and it's amazing as ever, and much better now that I've read the source material. Side note, but the Theatrical Edition is so much better than redux it's not even funny.

I've also been reading Anne of Green Gables, when I need something a bit brighter. I'm not going to lie though. After Heart of Darkness, it feels a bit unimportant and I'm losing steam with it a bit.

I'm also rereading Watership Down. I might take a break from this to focus on Anne of Green Gables. I love Watership Down, but two kids books at the same time is a bit much.

For my next serious read, I'm probably going to pick up some Hesse. I have Narcissus and Goldmund, or Beneath the Wheel, excited for both.
