Lenon

Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o’clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to...more »

    No I haven't read any Lethem. I am really enjoying K&C, but then I went to the library yesterday and picked up a copy of the Hitchens book.

    Thanks for that link. I'm kind of obsessed with electoral math, the NY Times has/had a pretty good one last I checked.

    And, what praytell, is this current quote from, my love?

    I'm almost afraid to start chilling the champagne for tomorrow's festivities, and yet, I think I shall.

    Oh, I can just imagine the sheer fiasco Hollywood would make of this novel! All the depth of the characters would go right out the window and they'd all become caricatures. The novel is basically the love affair of a New Yorker with a kooky, genteel Southern city in all its paradoxes. I'm sure the movie didn't capture any of the writer's affection. I love it when a writer can just be the lens through which you see, a sort of time machine.

    You sell yourself short--both your Horace and your Ajax were terrific characters, brilliantly acted, and gave everyone no end of great material to react to.

    Just read the profile poem. You've been meditating upon your students, haven't you? What couldn't we do, with all that surplus health, beauty, and energy. I remember teaching a college class and thinking, the least they could do is share.

    No, nothing is haywire with Bombay weather. At least, it's a little insane, but it's like this every year. We have summer from March to June, the monsoon from June through August, and summer again from September to November. Then we have a sad excuse for a winter in December, January and February.

    My dear, I fear you've been out in that barren hall far too long. Come inside for a cuppa, will you?

    I've read all the Dickens novels and I've read quite a bit of Faulkner, but not all. I think I've read all the books considered his "major novels." It's not easy reading, but stick with him. He's just astonishing. "As I Lay Dying" was one of my favorites. Loved "Absolom" and "Sound and Fury" too. "Sound and the Fury" is really my favorite, I think.
