Well, I'm about 50 pages into A Frolic of His Own by William Gaddis and I highly recommend it. It's really hitting the spot right now because I have several good friends who are lawyers or in law school. It has annotations online!:

I'm reading Samuel Beckett's Malloy. If I like it (and I do so far) I'll read Malone Dies and The Unnamable.

Is it the one annotated by Martin Gardner? If not, you should check it out.

I'm referencing the outstanding Foreign Affairs periodical for this, but Lula has been known to refer to America as an 'imperialistic empire', the usual spiel.

well, i is an imperialistic empire, whether lula says so or not, im afraid. plus consider his socialist roots. did you know lula wanted to tax the arms trade to fight hunger? a brilliant idea which was of course ignored by the powers that be. another plus for me is that he appointed gilberto gil as minister of culture.

Almost weekly! In doing so, he has legitimized Venezuela on the world stage, and made more friends than enemies. Evo Morales is running Bolivia into the ground, but he experiences immense popularity through out Latin America, not just with his indigenous core anymore. Chile has icy relations at best with America, but has seen the most sustainable growth in all of Latin America, even without dialog with America.

well chavez is a fucking jackass im afraid, and the only reason he can do it is because hate oil money-- which morales doesn't have. about chile, i dont know about "icy relations", i only need to look at the abundance of chilean grapes in the supermarket to know that all is well there.

well clinton neglected it a bit to engage other endeavors, but bush has really fucked it up. do you know however the colon powell was in peru on september 11? perhaps things would have gone differently if not for the criminally stupid response bush had to the attacks.

Just like similar IMF induced debacles in Africa, corruption at the national level contributes to the IMF's notoriously failed policies.

wow, wow, brother, we might be confusing our cast of characters here. shit fell apart in argentina under menem and de la rua, & still reeling under duhalde. if anything kirschner has pulled argentina successfully out of the financial hellhole where it was. lemme link ya: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argenti...281999-2002%29

It is, actually. Quite empowering and enlightening in this current climate of fear. Many of the women writing about their travels have travelled completely alone, many to some very (so-called) hostile places. And found themselves welcomed warmly.

Makes me wish I could just take off and fly.

The "recommended further reading" sections at the end of each chapter/country are interesting too. I'll definitely be looking out for some of them.

im still reading the same book that i have been reading for the past three months Tropic of Cancer.
never has a book brought me so much distress and joy all at once. i love it (and hate it)
i took a break from it the other day though and read The Stranger By Albert Camus which was brilliant!
next on my reading list is either, huck finn, heda gabler, or the divine comedy...

Gonna start re-reading some Vonnegut.

Not sure which one yet. Might just close my eyes, toss them all in the air and see which one smacks me in the head.

I'm reading Brave New World for the first time. I'm a little over 100 pages in, I just finished the first chapter where they're in the savage land. It's pretty good so far.
