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.

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.

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.
