    I currently have the following on the go:

    Marcel Proust - A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu: Swann's Way
    Jorge Luis Borges - Labyrinths
    Dante - La Vita Nuova (seriously the most romantic thing ever :o)

    And constant and indefinite reading of Shakespeare's complete works.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    I am currently reading one of the biggest pieces of shit ever to roll over a printing press:
    The Rest of Her Life
    Don't even know who wrote it.
    I am quitting this bookclub I formed.
    Bunch of old ladies.
    :rolleyes:
    On the side I am reading Naked Came I by David Weiss. About the amazing Rodin.

    "The Red Tent" I am not very far into it but I am enjoying it so far :)
    One of the best books I have ever read.
    I loved this.
    So intense and eye opening.
    I hope you really enjoy the rest of it.

    "Ghost Wars" by Steve Coll and "Descent into Chaos" by Ahmed Rashid. Any information I can get on Pakistan (and Afghanistan), I am on it. Intelligence would be nice... haha. One day, hopefully??
    Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

    Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.

    I'm reading that Barbara Kingsolver book about feeding her family locally for a year. Can't think of the name...
    It's interesting to me because I am trying to get my own free-range chicken egg, fruit & veggie farm going.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    About to start Closing Time by Joseph Heller.
    “Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut

    Steinbeck is always a goodie. How are the Twilight novels? I am curious; but in the way someone is curious about how truly awful say, a lifetime original movie is. ;)

    Chain of Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib - Seymour Hersh
    Mostly Hersh's writings for The New Yorker and such compiled in one place. Considering he's the one who really broke Abu Ghraib, it's well worth it. Guy's a journalistic god.

    I agree. My wife read so I gave it a chance. It was blah. 200 pages of "I love him, but I can't be with him. But I love him."

    I'm not a huge Harry Potter fan, but I read all the books and enjoyed them. The writing in those books was light years ahead of Twilight.

    Neil Gaiman ~ The Graveyard Book
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
