I'm reading that now (see: last page)

I'm really going at a snails pace though. I'm on page 102. THere are a lot of really great parts, but then a lot of the stuff drags.

Don Quixote.

More than two-thirds through Pattern Recognition. Very sympathetic protagonist considering my similar nameplusinitial screen name and own, though less severe, allergy to trademarks. Fortunately no techno/business intrigue.

The part with the asian porn that she found on the history of her computer scared me. That would freak me out.

John Barth - The Floating Opera. I'm actually getting pretty tired of this overly self conscious post modern stuff. Vonnegut is one of the few authors in that style who I'm not sick of. I'm moving onto Graham Greene next. Probably the Comedians.

It does drag, more than I thought it would. I'm around the 100 page mark, too. I might not make it all the way through.

Life's too short to read boring books.

well, to be honest, I'm reading that in Czech edition. The cover is pretty interesting too though:

Definitely. When I get to page 300 (which could take ages), I'll decide if I don't want to keep reading it or not.

Raymond Carver is the man....one of my favorite writers. One of my creative writing teachers got me into him when I was in college.

I highly recommend getting this:

Right now I'm reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

And at some thrift stores, I bought these books:

The Complete Plays of Aristophanes
Brave New World - Huxley
Much Ado About Nothing - Shakespeare
Hamlet - Shakespeare
A Room With a View - EM Forster
The Nature of Emotion - some random psychology book that looked cool
