Cool! I'm glad you liked Oscar Wao. The bit of Spanish I know definitely helped, but I'm woefully behind in my Spanish slang! I definitely learned plenty after this book, though. I think you'll also like De Bernieres. He also wrote Corelli's Mandolin, which you might know (it was a movie with Nicholas Cage, though I never saw it).
I *really* like The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao-- just finished it. I was only so-so on it at first, but it turned out to be a lot different a book than what I expected from the first couple of chapters. It's like "In the Time of the Butterflies" meets Louis de Bernieres' Latin American Trilogy.
Hey Rosalie! Thanks for the tips. I think I'm for pain meds. I'm a wimp! I'm due March 16. (I think most of my belly is actually fat :) )Glad your job is going well. I think English 101 - type questions linger even into grad school. What are they teaching these days? JK.Happy Wednesday,Amy
glad to hear you're liking your job! public or technical? i'm glad you have a wrinkle in time on there. it reminded me! any tips on motherhood? i'm freaked!
That is a picture of a younger me trying to figure out how the present me got so puffy :-)Good to "see" you here!
Thanks Rosalie! Your kids are adorable. Hope you are doing well. How's the job search?
Rosalie,I think my favorite Waugh is Vile Bodies, followed by The Loved One. Both are really great sharp, funny satire. He also wrote Brideshead Revisited, which was a big Masterpiece Theater miniseries way back when with Jeremy Irons. It's less funny, but I like it a lot.
Thanks Rosalie (I was born in Chicago . . .)
Hi Rosalie!
