One of my favourite internet people sent me Daughter's Keeper by Ayelet Waldman. At first it was upsetting me, but now I'm really liking it. I'm halfway though and I think I might actually finish this one! Yay!

Just finished "If On A Winter's Night A Traveler" by Italo Calvino - aMAZing! Now working on "A History of Philosophy Volume 1: Greece and Rome" by Frederick Copleston. I tell ya... there's nothing funnier than a bitter Cosmologist.

I'm starting Ishmael by Daniel Quinn today at lunch.

Last night I started "The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant. This'll be the fourth or fifth time I've read it.

"ph"

You're reading the book; you have the spelling right there!

no it's not. it's in my den and i'm on the second floor in my g/f's critter room sitting among a tank of tree frogs, a ball python, a bullfrog tadpole, 2 ferrets, a rat and 30 some-odd mice, as well as a few goldfish, and 4 african clawed frogs.

and none of them knew the spelling off the cuff either.

I'm reading A girl becomes a comma like that by Lisa Glatt mainly because I heard she writes fuck and penis a lot, but I kind of enjoy reading all the other words also. It's pretty sappy, and I'll probably need some porn when I'm finished.

Im reading Crime and Punishment - and Hamlet.

Damn, it took me a really long time to finish The Right Man: An Inside Account of the Bush White House by David Frum. It's a pro-Bush book that made me like him less!

Huzzah!

Finished 1984.

Now I'm on to Down And Out in Paris and London, George's autobio. Based on the first few chapters, I highly recommend it. This is possibly a very important book, maybe as important as 1984 itself. You have to kind of overlook the incidental anti-semitism -- it's pretty startling in our PC times, but that's how Europeans felt and, probably, feel today.

Just finished "The Parsifal Mosaic" by Robert Ludlum-absolutely excellent.

Just finished Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Excellent read. Very thought-provoking. Today I'm about to start My Ishmael by the same author. I'm really looking forward to it. My bathroom book right now is If Chins Could Kill by Bruce Campbell (yes that Bruce Campbell). Another excellent read, I'm about 2/3rds of the way through it.

Idoru by William Gibson. I tried reading this a few years ago, but I put it down about half way through and didn't pick it up again until last week. I'll probably pick up Pattern Recognition later this week.

That book sounds really good... do let us know what you think of it.

hackess · « **Reply #149 on:** February 01, 2005, 09:56:21 AM »

Oh, I've read it before, when I was in college. It was good then, and now I'm finding it remarkable.
