huh. that's obscured my email address a whole bunch more than i was expecting. why'd it do that?

Yeah, I was wondering how anyone was going to decode that.
I've recently read Herman Hesse's 'The Prodigy', which was OK in a sub-Goethe way, and Gertrude Atherton's 'THe Bell in the Fog'. a collection of her Edwardian/Victorian suspense stories. THe title one is interesting - the central character is patently based on Henry James and his writing 'The Turn of the Screw', and the Henry James analogue develops a frankly creepy obsession with a beuatiful 6yo girl. Good, but odd.

i'm reading the second book of the 'prince of nothing' trilogy by r scott bakker. it's very good, but i don't think it looks as good on a book cv as the other reads here. but then i don't read for self improvement.

Experiencing pure enjoyment can be very self-improving.

The library has 2 of the Updike Rabbit books for me! In the week of not having anything from my hold list, I reread Steinbeck's Sweet Thursday.

Soon we shall need a new 'What Are Your Reading' thread for Summer 2007. I am not dissatisfied with this fact.
I plan to the next week camping and hiking, not forgetting to bring many books with me - ratty paperback books that I can read with grubby hands. The Russian Revolution magnum opus I am (still) reading shall not go with me. It is unsuitable for such pastimes, being both nice and pig-enormous. When I return, I shall reveal all.

speaking of the Rabbit books, I finally bought the Everyman's version w/ a gift card from xmas and am now mid-Redux and its been a great read so far...really enjoying, though I knew I would to be fair.
skimming through, someone mentioned Adam Rapp's Year of Endless Sorrows a while back. Read it maybe 3+ months ago, did like it quite a bit, can basically only remember hilarious workplace party scene w/ main character escorting bosses' daughter.

Just finished The Road this morning. It was my first c. mccarthy and I was somewhat disappointed. It was somewhat enjoyable, and a rather quick read, but it all just seemed rather pointless. And I guess I just didn't take to his prose, it seemed a bit boring to me.
Before that was Black Swan Green, which I enjoyed immensely. I was sad when it was over. Most sympathetic narrator evah.

Has anyone here read and enjoyed The Electric Michelangelo? I had to stop after 60 or so pages because it was all melodramatic, stylistically out-of-control pap. Not a moment could Hall let pass by without adding ornaments to make it profound. Why Hall? Why.
