hannibal the cannibal

Reading Hannibal now, though i know i should be studying. Its a really well written book, and its subtle hints and little notations make it an enjoyably excrutiating mental journey through calculated, genius sadism. The characters are richly drawn, their emotions expressed through little words and statements. Not blatantly, as books often do now, as if the reader needed to be told straight in the face to understand.

Reading the book gives me chills at times, slight feelings of disgust and yet i am enraptured by it, by the smartness by which the writer lays out the story. I like his distinctive style of writing, not similar to Dean Koontz, but yet it thrills me the same way Koontz does. A pity i do not seem to have access to many of his books, and there doesn't seem to be a bookfair approaching.

Either way, here's Bleeding Heart by Angra, i believe i had posted the lyrics before. Enjoy it, its nice, its meaningful, its a love ballad done by a power metal band, but it plays out just like a classic.
