Brilliant mind.

Encyclopedias. Seriously. I've just been picking out random articles that look interesting and reading them.

The best entries I read today were the ones about Cashews and Snakes. I was halfway through the one about Transylvania, which was pretty good, but on the next page it was accompanied by a big ass picture of a trap door spider, which scared the shit out of me. I will never open up the T volume ever again.

I re-read these every year. I've just finished reading the first one for about the 5th time in my life:







P.S. can't wait for the movie, filming now and coming out next year! http://www.douglasadams.com

bell hooks! If she saw you capitalizing her name, she would have your head!

9s I saw the movie Solaris and found it quite confusing. Have any light you could shed on it?

I'm starting (for the third time) The End of the Affair by Graham Greene. Hopefully I can kill it off on the long plane ride home tomorrow. I've also started the short play Oleanna by David Mamet, and, as always, am rereading Morvern Callar for the eightybazillionth time. JD gave me that book for my birthday and I absolutely love it!

I'm re-reading Charlotte's Web.

Just started the latest Stephen King - Song of Suzannah. I don't usually read "pulp fiction", but SK rules!!

It's always just my humild me.
I do not belong to congregations, but I've been always a faithful believer.
In the Bible is inspiration for me and JW's are okay, theyr magazines inteligent.
I do not belong to any Religion-,Politic or Syndicate nor terror organisations. (Will I ever?, should I, have I...?
But I'm an interested person, and open minded. Maybe I do analize too much.
I feel free and do not like to been putted in in to a box, I don't know if I explain me correct. My English does really fails sometimes.

Hello love

I love Bernard Lewis....platonically, of course.

I watched the Tarkovsky's original version of Solaris recently, and I was contemplating picking up the book. Is it as (to put it nicely) contemplative as the movie?

flipwilson said:

Fuck Plato, I wanna do him like Aristotle.



I've read Islam and the West as well as the essays he's written since 9-11. He is one of those old school scholars, who just knows everything: languages, history, diplomatics, cultures, you name it. And he writes beautifully.

I especially enjoyed his feud with Edward Said.



I've not seen the original, but believe it or not the George Clooney version made me want to read the book. Not that it's a great movie. But it is a good movie. Try the book!

DiminutiveRocker said:

Cool! I've seen those titles! I may read the Cyberiad next because that's what I could find, that or Memoirs Found in a Bathtub!

I am reading and typing up notes for a photographers evaluation I did today....she failed I think

"Bad Grass Never Dies" by Chuck Barris. It's the sequel to "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind."

I am reading The Floating Brothel by Sian Rees, its about female convicts aboard a ship in the 18th century being sent to New South Wales and have to provide sexual services for the men already there.
