the bookworm call

i am in serious need of more reading. this means that i am on the prowl again...if you have any suggestions, please do.

i suppose re-reading isn't such a terrible thing but sometimes i feel like i've driven myself into a safe corner where i just keep reading the stuff that i like over and over and persistently overlooking the fact that there is probably interesting writing floating out there. i'm a bit stubborn.

my brother is finishing out his visit here and leaves thursday. it's been good to have him so far, but i can tell he misses his comfortable space back home. not that i can't relate, but being here is not where he needs to be at this point. i hope that maybe it will be in the future...we shall see.

okay, out of it for now. *blinks*

The best thing I've read recently was Everything is Illuminated. Have you read that?

I've started reading a book called "Such a Long Journey" by Rohinton Mistry. Haven't read much yet, but looks good so far.

i think you should read:
the heart is a lonely hunter by carson mccullers
the portrait of dorian gray by oscar wilde
the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by mark haddon
strangers from a different shore by ronald takaki
asian american dreams by helen zia

oh yeah, and when amanda recommends a book, it's prolly pretty good.
