Re-read this recently. It should be the norm to go through its pages.

It's one of the few novels by him that I've been able to finish. I always like what's going on in them but they're usually so long winded. Hard Times felt far easier to get through. And Gradgrind really is probably my favourite, most laugh out loud Dickens' character.
"A man of realities." Brilliant!

This is the fourth time I'm rereading this one. Pickwick Papers and Great Expectations are my favorites by Dickens. I've read everything by him at least once

Finished reading this today. It read like something from a pulp science fiction comic. It's pretty good.

"What a wonderful world"


I'm taking a break from my school readings, and this is actually pretty cool. Just random stories on life. really neat. I like. There are only two volumes though...

It's really good so far, I'd recommend it. I need to find a copy of The Killing Joke, I've really been wanting to read that one.

Ive had a brief bite of the writing bug, which has been dying out recently

Gulasch Noir 10.13.2011 09:18 AM

I'm reading this. Actually I am re-reading it, I read it the first time some 10, 11 years ago. At the moment I'm at this. I highly enjoy it overall. Treated it like a (my) dogma back then.

dirty bunny 10.13.2011 11:59 AM

This forum. What a waste of time!

Gulasch Noir 10.13.2011 12:12 PM

I read a couple of Richard Brautigan's novels a while back, Sombrero Fallout and The Tokyo Montana Express, might have to give Dreaming of Babylon a read. About to start - The Dream Life of Balso Snell, not this edition tho..

How are Sombrero Fallout and The Tokyo Montana Express? I'm a really big fan of Richard Brautigan, but I haven't read those yet.

Sombrero Fallout is about a writer breaking up with his Japanese girlfriend, he begins to write a story about a Sombrero falling from the sky which he then bins, the writer grieving over the break is unaware that the story continues on gathering it's own momentum.

The Tokyo Montana Express is a selection of short fictional and non fictional pieces set in Montana and Tokyo, (surprise!), this was my favourite of the two.

For a better description check out Brautigan.net, think they've got his poetry posted there too.

A bunch of Gershwin bios for a paper I am writing in my Music History class.
