The answer is within

Yikes!
that sounds like its only fun sometimes.

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.
Just finished Lisey's Story - highly recommended! And I'm about to start Other People's Heroes by our own BlakeMP.

I'm perusing three small solfege books based on international folk songs for Harmony I tonight and tomorrow.

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 agree with you, Monte.

I picked up, on Jean's recommendation, Foucault's Pendulum.

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*

Currently reading Cell.
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 Daenerys Stormborn and I will take what is mine. With fire and blood.
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.
I understand. Tom is a real, unquestionable classic, but Huck is, at least for me, far more personal.Anyway, as a literary character I like Huck more but so far I like Tom's story better than Huck's. *shrugs*
