I wonder if the Koran has been translated into Esperanto?

Charlie DIckens. Great Expectations.

Also, Art That Kills. A scrapbooked history of a bunch of sociopathic fascist liberal anarchist neo-Nazi Satanist druggie drag queen gay Punks with pencils and microphones at disposal in the mid 80s - late 90s. Some smart and talented, some not so much.

just finished "and a bottle of rum - a history of the new world in ten cocktails"by wayne curtis. great read, includes a run down of some of the best rums available in the US, and a list of essential rum cocktails.
Right now I'm coming to the end of reading "under the wire" by william ash. an american who joined the canadian air force when ww2 broke out in europe. ash was shot down in 1942, tortured by the gestapo then sent on to various POW camps, he became a serial escape artist & "cooler king" until the death marches away from the russians in 1945. It's told with a real warmth that I didn't expect considering the grim subject. highlight: after explaining to a group of lithuanian farm labourers that he was an escaped american pilot looking for a boat to get to sweden, one of the labourers leaned on his shovel & with a pitying look said " yes we would love to help you, but we are soldiers of the wehrmacht, and you are standing on our cabbages"

Marie Claire magazine. I've decided to park my brain in the garage for a while.

Under the Dome by Stephen King. The premise intigued me, more in a "how the hell could even King pull that off?" sort of way. Now I'm sucked in to this 1000+ page book. It's entertaining.

I heard Ken Jennings on NPR earlier this week, and am interested in his new book, Maphead. To quote Bilbo Baggins: "I do love maps; I have quite a collection, you know?"

Right now? Jim butcher: The dresden files.

But everyone should read Neil Gaiman.

I love Stephen King, too much really. After page 260 in UTD, I lost interest. And I fucking finished Duma Key. Let me know if its worth reading the rest.

Life is too hard to read new stuff. Got "I'll Take It" on the nightstand. I reread that book about as often as I reread Colette, or Lewis Carroll. Love Paul Rudnik. MMWWAA!
