Abbott would be horrified. ^_~

Books on Ireland...hehe

Go research!

Till We Have Faces C.S. Lewis

Notes From the Underground Dostoyevsky


...C.S. Lewis - never knew he had rewritten the myth of Psyche and Cupid. An uncanny retelling - though that's not quite the word.

More reading...

Anna Karenina Tolstoy -- and Wand in the World (collected interviews with fantasy authors, Wynne Jones, Pullman, Alexander...) Leonard S. Marcus.


Hilaire Belloc's poetry as well...in all my walks it seems to me/that the Grace of God is in Courtesy...

The Polish Officer -- Alan Furst
Moth at the Glass -- Mogue Doyle

Invisible Man by...somebody. I don't have the book in front of me, so I can't check at the moment.

I just finished The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde today. I love Wilde..He's so...amazing.

I'm starting on Death of a Salesmen by I Don't know. It's another play. I've been into them lately.

Genres you ask? Classic things, mostly older things. I won't read anything contemporary unless I have good reason (I like Dean Koontz when I don't want to be too amazed, just scared). I also like books that "You have to read or else you don't know anything" Suggested books and the like.

Imp - *dies* Oh my goodness... that is my favourite C.S. Lewis book... just... ah... *loves*

I'm reading bits and pieces of Till We Have Faces as I work on a paper for Omnibus, as well as selections from Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy for Omnibus as well.

For Rhetoric I'm reading How to Read a Book (Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren), and for fun I'm reading John Grisham's The Testament. His books are good free-reading.

Well, I've decided to give the Wheel of Time series a run for my money, so I'm on the first book of that.

Cassandra- Ralph Ellison was the author. I read that book last year. A little confusing, a LOT of symbolism, but a good read considering. Definitely one of the best books of the twentieth century and I believe Ellison's only book. (See good things can come to people who only publish one book.)

Here be Dragons by some author I can't remember. OMG that book is GOOD!!!!! Highly recommend it!

(It's Jane Yolen, I think - isn't it, Wiggy?)

Beyond Good and Evil Nietzche ... Though I think I'll head back to Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky - stories that wander through philosophy more engagingly...

Prolly, Imp. Thanks.

Gotta love that deep, deep thinking, eh Imp?

derailed - james siegal

Lay Siege to Heaven by Louis de Wohl -- 'tis an excellent novelisation of the story of Catherine of Siena.


(Wiggy--always. ^_^ Deep thought, da? Dostoyevsky's pathological brilliance. ^_~ And Ari--C.S. Lewis and his myth-retelling; I'd never have guessed it of him.)
