There is nothing better than a good book- on a beach, on a rainy day with a hot cup of tea, in a crowded subway, curled up on a sofa, or in a bookstore with a cup of coffee- as Borges said, "I've always imagined Paradise would be a sort of library".

    I have not even heard about the movie. Can you tell me about it? Did you like it?

    Thanks, my Plan to Read list has gotten a little out of control...I've been in Argentina for a few months and I miss being able to walk into an English bookstore. Pepperdine is pretty great. I met a lot of amazing people there. Where did you end up going? I noticed you read Roots awhile ago-- I'm about 4/5 of the way through and stuck. Does it pick up at the end? I really loved it until the story got to Kunta's grandson. Either way, I'm going to push myself to the end someday soon.

    Sorry, didn't see your reply. I don't check here often.

    I'm actually from Baku, born and raised. 16 wonderful early years of my life. Other than that, lived in Novosibirks for 1 year. Left all together in 1990.

    From your picture, I would've never guessed that you had ties to Kavkaz.

    Thanks. I try. Being raised in the Soviet Union warps one's taste in literature. ;)

    And your shelf is quite impressive, too.
