    High Fidelity - Nick Hornby I read this book years ago and I'm really fond of it, as it reminds me so much of a friend of mine who sadly died. When the film came out, even though it sounded great - I didn't want to go watch it, as I like picturing my friend as Rob, the main character

    That aside, its a brilliant book anyway (as are About A Boy and Fever Pitch). His observations of people and our inner monologues are so astute, and relayed with a spot on dry wit.

    I have been only re-reading lately. Lots of Russian books, and, most recently:

    Umberto Eco: Foucault's Pendulum

    Gustav Meyrink: Golem

    Evelyn Waugh: The Loved One

    I'm still reading Huck Finn.
    IMO, it is not as good as Tom Sawyer. Yes, I said it.

    I might start that series after I finish A Song of Ice and Fire. Are you going to see the movie (starring Ms. Kidman)?

    Really Jean? My first thought was that Huck Finn might be very difficult for a non-native English speaker since it is full of so many southern dialects. I think that may be one reason I am not flying through it like I normally do. Kudos to you! I am very impressed!
    Anyway, as a literary character I like Huck more but so far I like Tom's story better than Huck's. *shrugs*

    I'm currently reading a book by Burt Useem called States of Siege: U.S Prison Riots 1971-1986. I'm reading it to research for a book chapter i'm writing for a book on prison riots. It will be published next summer! Woo hoo!

    I am still reading The Deerslayer for my American Romanticism class. It makes my eyes want to bleed.
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    Much as I would like to accept the honor, I am afraid it is undeserved. I think it is easier for a non-native speaker (provided he feels free enough in the language, of course), because a native speaker expects the text to be in his native language, and may be somewhat shocked when he can't read it the dialect part as naturally as the rest. For a foreigner, however, both are foreign language, so none of his expectations are frustrated. More foreign, less foreign, is just a matter of degree.

    Anyway, as a literary character I like Huck more but so far I like Tom's story better than Huck's. *shrugs*
    I understand. Tom is a real, unquestionable classic, but Huck is, at least for me, far more personal.

    You know, I liked Tom Sawyer better, too. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Hucks adventures down the river but *shrug* if I had to pick, I'd say Tom.
