Talk slower...

lol.


Orphy, i've developed a full proof method for reading Finnegan's Wake. any of Joyce, really...

take one bottle of Bushmills, open book, start drinking, read out loud. once you begin slurring, those 957 letter words will really begin pop right off the page!

Good to know, I have that on my to do list. His long form stuff ain't too bad, a little raw, but the kid has got a lot of his Dad's talent. Man I love short stories...I think your recommend just moved this up a few notches, thanks.

No problem, i havent read "Heart Shaped Box" by him but the plot didn't seem interesting to me. Another good short story book is "Haunted" by chuck palahniuk but i am sure you have heard of it by now if not read it.

I just finished Red Star Rogue by Kenneth Sewell. It's good overall, especially if you're a Cold War sub warfare buff like me. The only qualms I had about it was that the author was a little repetitive with some of his facts and the fact that because a lot of information is still classified you pretty much have to settle for speculation and inference.

I am now reading Stalking the Red Bear.

Re-reading this for the millionth time for class!

And for the record I LOVE Virginia Woolf!

I am reading this for school.

Maybe, I should just watch the movie instead.

Please do! Watched the movie few weeks ago and was impressed to say the least.

Keira's best role imo.

How Harry Potter! (except replace scifi with fantasy, and go easy on love story)

Killer stuff!

Not exactly a literary history in terms of contiunuous, thorough description of important events that influenced reading worldwide, but rather an author's subjective reflection of that events and his own reading experiences.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

Somehow I had never read this. Very glad I got to it now.

I have heard good things about Manguel.
