at the moment, "Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut (always a favorite), "The Collected Works" of Khalil Gibran (beautiful), and a self-help book that is what you'd expect of any self-help book: somewhat helpful and somewhat not.


One of my all-time faves biggrin

"Dark Lord - the Rise of Darth Vader"

A must for fans of sci-fi/fantasy. It takes place shortly after the events of ROTS.

This exemplifies the clear difference between educational opportunities. Education in general, amongst 19 year olds, in different countries.
What's your major, again? Languages?
I've always appreciated your exposure to literature.

One of my sons attended a private school that taught Latin, which was appealing. The rest of the program was unbelievably liberal. The required reading was all modern. No Hemmingway, Steinbeck, Twain. Too politicaly correct for American lit. Expensive and disappointing. confused

I just read Vikram Chandra's Sacred Games.

I thought it kind of sucked. Everyone kept calling everyone else a madarchoder.

It's rumored that this is Mosley's final "Easy Rawlins" novel. sad I hope not. I've just started this book, but I can see how this might be the terminus of the character's arc. But, I still hope not.




I need to read this, first. I've been reading a few pages a day, for a few months now. It's awesome.


I'm also reading the book of John. Hence, the sig.

i'm only half through it, but i just read a chapter where the main character drives down Highway 51 through Illinois (mentions the town I went to college in, and I'm sure he drove through my hometown), picks up a wacky hitchhiker, and then goes to a hotel where he has a conversation with Lucille Ball on the TV lol
