I'm 250 pages into The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I've been putting off reading it for a long time, but finally had nothing else to read. I'm waiting for Zeitoun by Dave Eggers, Eating Animals by Jonathan Safron Foer and Changing My Mind by Zadie Smith to free up at the public library.“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth.

Just finished it. A great read. Tillman was a great thinker and someone who will not be soon forgotten.
Now back to the Dome along with another non-fiction book Mountain Top- about strip mining for coal in TN, WV.
I just finished this too and I loved it. I only knew a little about Tillman and the propaganda machine that the Bush Administration tried to fuel. Krakauer does a great job explaining what went down......Bush belongs in jail.It's nice to be nice to the nice.0 -
Rereading Louise Erdrich's Love Medicine. OMG! How does she come up with her language - it's beautiful and powerful, insightful, and sharp. I last read it in 2000.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
