  I'll be there. I may even chase her around with a microphone to get every grunt and cuss. She surely has the mouth of a seasoned sailor.

  Hannah, Deirdre tells me that you donated $100 to her "beat the crap out of myself" - athon. Do you understand, now, that if I do not atleast match your donation amount, your most wonderful, emerald cousin will hound and cackle me until I do? Do you understand what you have done?

  Hi Hannah. First off, your hair absolutely shines in your shelfair photo! Whatever conditioner you are using...keep using it. Secondly, thanks for the notes about the Millenium series. I will read the books. Thirdly, Vonnegut is a sharp writer. I've read Cat's Cradle, Man without a country, and Slaughter House 5. Man wo a country is is mostly a collection of socio-political essays. I would suggest starting with Slaughter House 5 (Vonnegut's best known novel) and later gripping Cat's Cradle. They are unregrettable reads. Hope to see you soon. You're one of my favorite people!

  Hi Hannah, Regarding Vonnegut... I'm not your guy. I found his style too loose and a little dated. I understand the talent, but I had a hard time connecting with him. My family is good. Gracie is doing great. You'd never, ever guess what she been through by watching her now. Thanks for asking. I hope all is well with you. How's life my friend? Dave

  O Little Root of a Dream
  by Paul Celan
  translated by Heather McHugh and Nikolai Popov
  
  O little root of a dream
  you hold me here
  undermined by blood,
  no longer visible to anyone,
  property of death.
  
  Curve a face
  that there may be speech, of earth,
  of ardor, of
  things with eyes, even
  here, where you read me blind,
  
  even
  here,
  where you
  refute me,
  to the letter.

  OH PS. The Deep End of the Ocean was good. The first half was pretty depressing (my mom couldn't get past the first 100 pages), but I'm glad that I read it.

  I'm reading Jen Lancaster's new book, My Fair Lazy, and it is HILARIOUS (as were the others). Rhett can attest to the fact that I was laughing out loud (a lot) while reading. Pick it up!!!!!

  Hannah, YOUR NOTE ON IAN'S WALL MADE ME CRACK-UP LAUGHING!

  Hi Hannah. Have a nice weekend, por favor! You know what is interesting? We had an equal number of books until I read your recommendation to Deirdre to not read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. At which point, I removed the book from my shelf. You manipulated me! Arg, spoiled!

  I just started Deception Point. Dan Brown. My brother gave it to me while I was visiting him in Boston. The book is surely pop fiction, but I enjoy the plot of the first 130 pgs. what about you?

  you know, for the last few weeks I was wondering 'Why hasn't Hannah responded to my Shelfari message? I guess she's busy. Oh bother". So, yea. (Sorry, btw) I wonder if I may blame my Shelfari spaciness on Deirdre. Well, I will... until she reads this message. Then, I'll find a less convenient excuse :-) Hope you're well. My job is good. Sure the heck not bad!

  I see that everyone is making fun of me on Shelfari. I will have to add all of the Misc. things I've read (ie. Oprah's Big Book of Happiness, Bobbi Brown's Beauty Book), you know, the essentials.

  Deirdre makes fun of my large shelfari shelf. I'm guessing she is just envious (of something so great and tangible like a virtual shelf ha.) We are both in the 550s! Come on Deirdre! We're calling you out!

  I've studied for the GMAT, but never took it. After taking a few non-matriculated MBA classes I realized that an MBA may not be my path. So, I've been tweaking my plan. ;-)

  Hi Deirdre's Cousin! Nice to meet you via shelfari. Hopefully we will meet some day soon. You've read so many essential books! yea!
  Tender is the Night is my all time favorite book. I loved Fitzgerald's ability to communicate human emotion. A Lesson Before Dying, too, is one of my all time favorites. I am a fan of Black Awareness books in topic, and ALBD has such tension, bitterness, and well, strength.
  
  Ugh, other than PK Dick, I'm currently reading all books that I will be happy to forget. But that's how it goes.

  I liked it... I'm actually reading the last book in her "series", Such a Pretty Fat. They are all hilarious.
